File permissions ias902, text_io, unix again

Is there any good reason why the permissions for a file written by text_io gets the permission "rw r" and not "rw r r" when the umask is set to 022 for the oracle user.
It seem that the umask is not used at all when using text_io. How can we get the correct protections without having to include a chmod in 100+ applications using the text_io?

Jens Degn

repost, i want know this...

  • Troubleshooting file permissions

    When editing file permissions on a Unix Tru64 server through
    DW 8 I get the error
    "Setting access properties failed for: <Filename>
    For additional information check the FTP log"
    But the site ftp log is blank. As I download files the log
    addes additional blank lines, but no text. Is there a setting to
    record ftp info to the log file I need to check? Has anyone had
    success or know of a listing of compatible servers for the file
    permission utility in DW?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem. I would also like to know if
    there is a list of compatible servers for the file permission
    utility for DW 8. We are a Unix environment running Apache.

  • Checking /Viewing Unix file permissions

    Is there a way for me to check file permissions (In Java) under unix, without having to call a system dependent function. (ie Runtime.getRuntime(); run.exec(....))
    Any help would be greatly appreicated.
    Curtney

    Thank you for replying.
    You are correct, I can detect ile permissions by using these functions, more specifically whether the current running application is able to read/write to a particular file.
    However, I am interest in knowing the file permissions /attributes
    for user and group on the unix file system despite whether the current running application can read/write to a particular file.
    ie,
    -rw-rw--r-- 1 username groupname size date .... filename
    I have searched and I believe, currently, there is not a class/member function that accomplishes the above.
    Again, Thanks for responding.

  • Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."  And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue.  Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message.  HELP!

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • I can't sync my macbook air with my ipad, problems with authorization... this keeps cropping up: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permi"

    Help, cannot sync completely with my ipad, and i also cannot remove or delete shared photos which are clogging up my ipad 64GB memory! Some issue with this keeps croppin gup, so frustrating:
    "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
    Not sure how we can correct his permissions problem, and whether authorising or deautorizing makes any difference, with more and more errors keep popping up, this got to be such after an update of the OS, can remember which!?
    HELP!!!

    follow this:
    Launch iTunes
    select iTunes Store from the menu on the left side.
    sign in via the link on the top right area if you haven't done so already
    click the link where you Apple ID email appears, enter your Apple ID password, click View Account, this will take you to a page displaying detailed information about your Apple ID account.
    The last item under Apple ID summary should be Computer Authorisations, click Deauthorize All
    now reauthorize any computers as needed when the system prompts you.
    good luck.

  • "Password Wallet" & File Permissions

    Hi,
    How can I set the file permissions correctly on "Password Wallet's" file so that multiple people on the same Apple MacBookPro running Leopard (MAC OS 10.5.x) can access it read/write?
    Yes, I've already run this question by Selznick Software (Password Wallet's developer) and got nowhere.
    Here's the problem/symptoms that I am experiencing:
    I installed "Password Wallet" and started using it under my userid/account (Toni). Everything worked fine. I adjusted the file permissions on Password Wallet's data file to allow my wife to access it under her userid/account (Mel). She logged onto her account and accessed it just fine. Then, I re-logged onto my account (Toni) and CANNOT access it because somehow her access removed my read/write permissions from the file.
    I've tried the same experiment several times now. The result is always the same. After getting the Password Wallet data file setup with read/write for wife and read/write for me while logged onto my account (with administrative privileges), then if another user account (wife's) accesses it, then the access control lists are mysteriously changed (my read/write access control is gone, my wife's is the only remaining read/write access).
    I have only done this experiment and reset the access the control settings via the GUI interface. Somebody at work suggested I enter terminal mode and use the command line methods (UNIX commands like chmod). Although, I know how to run these types of commands, I have no idea what access control settings I need to enter on the chmod command line to allow multiple users to have read/write access to the PasswordWallet data file.
    Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,

    After some more experimentation tonight, I have finally found a "workaround" to allow multiple user accounts on the same computer to successfully access the Password Wallet's data file!
    Here's the trick/workaround:
    (1) Create a group account (say "PasswordWalletGroup") whose members are the different user accounts that you want to access Password Wallet's data file (so, in my case I added myself and my wife into this group); &
    (2) Give that group Read/Write access to the data file (via "Finder", select the data file, select "Get Info", and go to the section on "Sharing & Permissions" & simply add the group name & modify the privileges to "Read & Write").
    Now, each user account in that group will be able to access Password Wallet's data file and can modify it. The Password Wallet application will still reset the permissions so that the last user account modifying the file will become the "owner" (Me) BUT the above group workaround will somehow trick the application. Thus, the next different user account that accesses it will be successful and the goofy application will again reset the permissions to let this account be the owner but the group permission will allow others to still access the data file.
    It's clear that the Password Wallet application is doing something funky with the file permissions. Perhaps, it's a "file locking" scheme or something. The application clearly wants to reset the permissions so that the only user account with read/write access is the account that last modified the file. However, the workaround above somehow fools the application and allows multiple user accounts to access the data file (sequentially, of course, not simultaneously).

  • How can I repair file permissions?

    Greetings!
    Recently I get this warning when I do a File Permissions Repair with help of Distools:
    `Warning: SUID File `System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDagentApp/Contents/MacOS/ARDage nt` is changed and cannot be repaired.
    I did a few attempts to repair this file permission by hand and also used Onyx to repair this but when my Mac had a restart are the permissions again change to `only read` and do I get the same Warning.
    Shall I just let it be? Or what can I do to change this?
    With kind regards,
    Silvia

    That warning is on this list http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 and as per Apple can be safely ignored.

  • Firefox aborts LARGE downloads on completion with an 'unknown error' and the whole file has to be downloaded again - surely there must be a workfile somewhere?

    Because I only have satellite internet available to me, I have to download YouTube files in my download window. Several times now, one or two of maybe five or six files, all being downloaded simultaneously *to the same directory*, will abort with an error message "<filename> could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location". However, you don't get a chance to save it to a different location, the whole damned file has to be downloaded again from scratch. This is actually with IceWeasel 17.0.10, a thinly-disgusided version of Firefox 17 LTS, running on 64-bit Debian 7.1 multihome.
    I realise this may be a plugin problem rather than a Firefox problem, I'm not sure of the exact relationship between the two, but I'm using TubeEnhancer 2.6 to do the downloads.
    Whatever the 'unknown error' might be (and it's not a permissions problem, other videos being downloaded at the same time will save correctly to the same directory!) it seems beyond belief that it's not possible to give the user a chance to save the file somewhere else, as the error message suggests. It's so frustrsting to have to go through the whole download process again. Surely Firefox is storing a copy of the file on the hard drive as it downloads, is there really no way that this can at least be recovered when the error occurs, even if it's not possible for some reason to give the user a second chance to pick a directory and filename?

    OK, so I tried disabling the other addons and (I'm sure this is coincidental!) the problem actually got WORSE, not better, i.e. more aborted downloads.
    This is a long-standing problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird, both programs will happily tell you *during* the download process that they've downloaded X MB of Y MB, but if the download aborts, then there's no indication that it's done so on the dowload page. All that is needed is to retain that expected download size figure when the download has terminated, so that you can easily see whether unattended downloads completed or not.
    Yes, I suppose those of us who have to use satellite internet services are in the minority, but the only hours when I can download anything are between 0200 and 0700 my time, and I do like to get SOME sleep at nights!

  • How to set all file permissions to default?

    So a few background notes are in order. I came across an article on the NSA's website titled Hardening Tips for Mac OS x 10.6 "Snow Leopard", needless to say I have come to believe I have made this irreversible. The NSA suggested to do some fancy command line coding to disable this, modify that, and change permissions to this. After hours spent on "hardening" my system, I have little hair left to pull in frustration. Is there any way to restore all file permissions back to default? I have used the Repair Disk Permissions, but that has done very little. To give the scope of what permissions have been skewed, I have observed several things:
    The desktop wallpapers, on all Desktops (as I'm in Lion 10.7.3), start from the same picture every time. I have the wallpapers changing, randomly, every 5 minutes.
    Safari doesn't keep the home page. No matter how often I try to change the homepage, I restart Safari, and I'm right back to the original homepage.
    Firefox doesn't retain the fact that I want it to be the default Web Browser. In fact, it keeps "forgetting" that I've used it before, and thus brings me to their awesome start page whenever someone first uses Firefox.
    Spotlight gets "stuck" i.e. almost every time I start my machine, it indexes. Even after I let it finish indexing, the next time I start my computer, it starts again.
    I have to input the administrator password after almost every activity, such as copying to the desktop, moving an application not bought from the Mac App Store into the /Applications folder, deleting a file from anywhere inside my home folder, etc.
    Some preference panes that need access to certain folders, such as Hazel's access to my desktop, are denied that access without ever prompting me for a password (though even if it did, it would get rather annoying after every startup)
    My firewall (in System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall) doesn't "remember" that I do indeed want Dropbox to accept incoming connections. I have to input my admin password at each startup after clicking "allow"
    Opera pretty much doesn't function. Its bookmarking capability, home page, saved tabs, any thing that requires the saving of any type of preference to the computer results in a dialog pop up informing me that Opera failed to save what it needed, and prompts me to "Try again" or "Cancel" (hint: the "Try again" button doesn't work)
    There are more symptoms of an ever growing problem.
    I have backed up my machine from Time Machine, but I think it retains these file permissions, unless I'm wrong.
    Summary:
    How can I fully restore EVERY file permission back to default? Repair Disk Permissions doesn't work
    Is there a way that I can re-install Mac OS X, restore through Time Machine, and achieve the default file permissions, essentially losing all file permissions?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    If you get an error message about permissions, enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
