File and directory permissions
We are running OSX 10.7 Lion on a Mac Pro 1,1 IN RAID. We are using this system als fileserver. Since last year it came to our attention that there where problems with the permissions on the files and directories (they seem corrupted). I do not mean system files but the files we stored on this server. When I look at random file permissions I get a whole list of users etc. A lot of duplicate users are there and also there are some entries in the list saying 'fetching'.
We use the server admin tool to manage groups and users.
This is what we have done so far:
- Try to repair permissions through terminal (because of RAID configuration)
- Propogate permissions through server app
- Resetpassword trick (restart cmd+R / terminal / resetpassword)
Can anyone tell me how to get this working 'clean' again? is there a way to reset all files according to the workgroup/user settings in the server app?
Sounds a bit like the temp files are not being 'closed' after being written
to or read by Labview. If you are using the advanced file vi's make sure
that they are closed afterwards.
If the OS assumes they are open then it will not allow deletion etc even
outside of Labview.

File and Directory Maintenance on OSX Server
Are there any special considerations for using file and directory maintenance utilities such as Disk Warrior or TechTool, etc. when dealing with OSX Server, or can it be handled just like any other volume.
We have all of our data and our user home directories on the server and I would like to run some miantenance on them.
Thanks.I am no expert on disk utilities.
Personally, I just have a separate 5G partition with a minimal OSX which I boot from once a month (or before a server update) and run Disk Repair & Repair Permissions from.
As far as I know, there is nothing going on on the server that is not going on on a 'normal' OSX machine (at file level mode). The OSX unix offering is miles from the previous OS9 model where the likes of Norton was almost mandatory. The built-in 'periodic' scripts and disk utility 'repair' (see "man fsck" in Terminal) all run at unix level, and have done for years, even before Apple II days!
Although I have both Disk Warrior & TechTool, I don't use them except in an 'emergency' (otherwise called: "try anything").
I would be interested in any other comments though.

File and directory names with Danish characters
I have installed the Novell Client v2.0 for Linux on my Open Suse 10.3. The Client is connecting to my Netware servers (6.0 & 6.5) without any problems...
There is one problem... Filenames and directory names with the Danish , & (ae, oe & aa), e.g the filename bger.doc (bger = books) is shown as b. and when clicking the file the file disappears from the file list. It seems to be the same problem with the German (umlaub).
What to do?

As far as I know, the Novell Client for Linux expects that file and
directory names use the UTF-8 encoding and does not support a traditional
8-bit encoding like ISO 8859-1. Try changing the encoding of file and
directory names to UTF-8 as described in
SDB:Converting Files or File Names to UTF-8 Encoding - openSUSE
HTH,

Seems a good hint. When I create a folder or file from within SUSE using an "Umlaut" everything is OK and NCL 2.0 displays them correctly as they are UTF-8 formatted.
The proposed tool is no solution: one cannot convert folders or files that one cannot see (does it work for folders at all?). Maybe a windows tool would work because one could search for all files or folders with "Umlaute" and convert them. Other options? -
File and folder permissions for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Good day,
I am an IT specialist and I work for a Canadian governement agency and we are having an issue with Photoshop CS5. After successfully installing Photoshop CS5 from the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium set(using a local machine administrator account), Photoshop crashes immidiatly after launching it(even with the local administrator account). The exact error message is as follows:
The instruction at "0x230dad8dc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
I know this is an environement issue and not an application or hardware issue since I was able to successfully install and run Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a plain vanilla install of Windows SP3 XP on the same model of workstation(HP DC7800). This later also confirms it is not a RAM or video adapter issue either. My experience tells me it would be more related to file/folder permissions on the workstation(although I'm open to other suggestions). Because we are a governement agency, our workstations have machine and user policies and desktop configurations that get applied to the workstations automatically upon joining our domain via GPOs and SMS. Certain system files and folder permissions may be locked down for security reasons therefor I was wondering is someone has a list of files and folders that Adobe CS5 needs access to upon startup in order to properly function?
If anyone would like more details or information please let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read and help out!I appreciate that you're trying to surmise what's different, and it's good that you have had success with similar/identical hardware. At least you know it can work.
However, I wouldn't bet just yet that it's a permissions issue. I'd think you should get a specific error if a locked-down file needed to be accessed, not a null pointer crash. The Photoshop installer should be setting up the proper permissions on its own files for it to run.
Is it exactly the same video card as the other computer, on which Photoshop works?
Are you sure the video drivers are up to date with the same version as on the other computer?
At exactly what point during startup does the failure occur (i.e., is the splash screen showing, and what does the status line in the splash screen say it's doing)?

QTSS file and folder permissions
I am having a lot of problems getting QTSS and QTSS Publisher working correctly. I think this may be due to file and folder permissions. Does anyone know what the correct ownership and access settings should be for the folders containing my quicktime files?
Thanks.Try setting the ownership and permissions of those files to the ones mentioned on the end of this page, which are: owner: qtss, group: admin, permissions for owner and group: Read & Write, and Read only for others.

How to view hidden user files and reset permissions
I am having difficulties getting the hidden files to appear first of all. I have tried a couple of different things that have been suggested in other posts. And I would really like a point in the right direction to find information on resetting permissions. Thanks in advance for any help.
To view hidden files, I use a third party program called Desktop Utility, takes only a few seconds to activate and have them shown. Quick and easy.

Resetting Permissions info and How TO;
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
There is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there. -
File and directory restructuring
I just moved all my PSE8 contents to a new computer using backup and restore, and it worked fine. however, the directory structure on the new computer isn't ideal; PSE uses the whole "documents/settings..." structure from the source location, which creates a bit of a convulted structure. it works, but its messy. I'd like to change it. I can think of two ways of doing it but would like some recommendations and thoughts before i proceed.
1. Use the "move" command to take logical groupings of photos and move them to a different file/directory structure. I know this will work, but it can be a bit tedious.
2. just move the files to the new directory strucutre, and let PSE find them using "reconnect." not sure how automated this will be or if i will have to "browse and find" each file. i've never been too impressed with "reconnect"
thoughts?First of all my entire post is sequitur, it's just not sequitur to you.
Second, malware usually attaches itself to Windows or browser files, not to some Jpeg laying in a remote corner of a "volume" drive. Of what exact "good" or use would it be to the originator? Why would you place malware in a file that stands a chance of not being opened at all? Given that there are are great number of multi-user computers in the field, the care the OP has taken to avoid malware is of little relevance to the possibility of an actual infection.
Malware writers have gotten more sophisticated, as have the scanners. However, what is getting through seems to be be harder to identify and eradicate.
In the case of guarding my personal information, I am zealous to the point of not being willing to take chances, and would rather reformat in the event of trouble, instead of a long running post and repost, scan and rescan, install and uninstall various malware scanners, meanwhile relying on ther kindness of others to bail yourself out of an infection. Reformat, and my photos are a still right where they where on "G:/" (on >>>four <<<) computers.
As an aside note, the biggest uptick in exploits and infections is from the "friendship meat markets" such as "Face Book", where all the imbeciles congregate to take "online IQ tests", thus giving out all their personal information. As you can likely tell, I am not all all suited to that environment, and have had my IQ tested in manners professional.
You are simply overtly and patently incorrect about all the, "I lost my photos because PSE stopped working" being "pilot error" in file management. Simply go to the PSA forum, you'll see what mean. Or, read this post, from this forum.
Re: out of memory error adobe elements 3.0
Hi, just wondering if you had any success in retreiving or opening your Organizer?? Im having the same problem and i have tried everything, i even rang Adobe and they told me there were no technitions able to help because Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 was too old. If anyone has a solution please let me know, i have 5 years worth of photos in this software, i just want to be able to open the organizer to burn all my pics to CD then i will update my software. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
IMHO, it would be more productive to assist a member who desires to have knowledge and control over their photos location in the Windows environment, and also permit a harmonius integration with PSE's file management, rather than simply continuing to spout Adobe dogma. Given the POS that PSE-8 (organizer) is stacking up to be, it may be time to seek out another file manager anyway, at which point you had better know exactly where (in Windows) your photos are and be able to manage them from there.
If I were going to go through the agonizing, (to me), process of recognizing a deity, it certainly wouldn't be "The Adobe Software Corporation". And hell would freeze over before I knelt at PSE's altar. -

I wanna read text files from directory that contain - lots of other directorys... and by using this code I have error,,,
Can anyone help me plzzz
Edited by: Shamma on Oct 9, 2008 3:32 AMYou actually have more than 1 problem: you cannot traverse directories recursively and you get a NullPointerException.
For the first problem you might want to verify what this statement returns:
child.toString() (I honestly don't understand why you are calling toString() on a String object, but that's not the real problem!)
You probably expect it to be a full absolute path.
The NullPointerException has already been pointed out by masijade. -
Both file and directory path selection

AFAIK, it is not possible.
But you can try a workaround though :-P
Make two radio-buttons:
1. Select File (rb_file)
2. Select Directory (rb_dir)
Then based on the radio-button call the respective method
IF RB_FILE = 'X'.
Call Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
ELSEIF RB_DIR = 'X'.
Call Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_BROWSE
ENDIF.

Default File and Folder Permissions
Hello everyone,
Is there anyway to set a default file/folder permissions for a parent folder and then if any new files or folders get created within that folder that files use 0644 and folder use 0755? I'm running MAMP for a localhost test site to run Joomla CMS, I have the parent folder set to 0755 but when ever I install a new extension in to Joomla the files are not writable. Is there a way I can set the main parant plublic_html / www folder to work like this for new child files and folders?
Thanks guys.Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Power shell script to list all files and folder permissions recursively
Hi All,
I am looking for a powershell script to perform the following operations.
1) To list the folder and file permissions(Allow,Deny both) recursively in a given folder.
2) List out all the files and folders which are having the deny permission or having only the read access (or) only the write access. Basically the folder should have Read,Execute,Write permissions. Else we have to flag that file/folder name.
I had written a batch script for the same which does this task using icacls.exe output, but this script takes lot of time to recursively parse all the files ( ~1 lakh files).
Please help me with the powershell script for the same.
Thanks

File and folder permissions for specific AD groups
Having a special folder over multiple servers that certain user groups can access with specific permissions I'd like to audit the security mappings using get-acl commandlet. It's easy for a single folder but I would need subfolders and files too. I know
I can assign a variable say $object = dir c:\MyShare -recurse and then would need to somehow pipe each object to get-acl and filter for the AD groups I'm interested in. Ideally if the results were then passed on to csv. Can someone help with getting
this to work?
yaroHi Yaro,
I checked your script, and found you haven't defined the variable $folder before use, please refer to the script below:
$folders = dir D:\TEST1 -recurse | where {$_.psiscontainer -eq $true}
foreach($folder IN $folders){
$folder|Get-Acl | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"}
Get-Acl $folder.fullname | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"} |
Select-Object @{n="object";e={ $folder.fullname }},
@{n="security_principal";e={ $_.identityreference }},
@{n="type";e={ $_.accesscontroltype }},
@{n="rights";e={ $_.filesystemrights }}
And to list the nested groups on local computer, please check this function writed by Boe Prox, which will also list the property "isGroup":
Get-LocalGroupMembership
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Dynamic File and Directory Name without Mapping
Hello Experts,
We have following requirement:
1) Files will be picked from R/3 AL11 directory and would be placed in corresponding folder in target system.
2) On source side ,there would be only one folder for all types of files(around 20),but on target side,there would be one folder for each kind of file(20 folders)
3) File name should be same on the target side but target directory should be selected based on file name.
I have gone through a number of posts related to similar requirements and hence,sorry for a new post but I am not yet able to find a solution to this.
I could understand,this can be achieved using DynamicConfiguration UDF .
But I have no possibility to have mapping in my scenario.It would just be a pass through scenario.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this?
Thanks.
Regards,
ShwetaHello,
Thanks a lot for suggesting solution to this problem.
I could achieve this using following Java mapping:
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
private Map param;
public void setParameter(Map map1) {
this.param = map1;
public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
try {
AbstractTrace trace = null;
// a) Set ouput File name
String directory=null;
trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String filename =conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, filename);
trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
conf.put(key1, directory);
// b) Just copy input file to output file
byte[] b = new byte[inputstream.available()];
inputstream.read(b);
outputstream.write(b);
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
Thanks again.
