Has anybody edited the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist file?

Mac clients don't honour Samba settings for new directory and file creation masks so I thought I would set the Umask value in smbd.plist and that would apply to all clients, Mac SMB clients too.
Has anybody done that before?
Best regards,
Andrus Suitsu

Apple document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202 says:
In Mac OS X 10.4 and later, advanced administrators can set a separate umask for a specific LaunchAgent or LaunchDaemon by adding a Umask value to the launchd plist file.
So I think and hope that means that adding Umask setting to smbd.plist would have some effect on how smbd will create files, wouldn't you agree?
Windows clients already honour the settings in /var/samba/shares and create all directories and files with the specified POSIX permissions. My problem is that OS X samba clients don't honour those settings and use their own umask. I want to solve this on the server, not by configuring each client separately.
Andrus
PS. I cannot bring SMB down while people are working on the shares, otherwise I would already know if changing the smbd.plist file helps me.

  • MBP stuck to the spinning wheel, won't boot after deleting something from "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist"

    Hi all,
    I have a MBP 13" (early 2011) running Lion 10.7.2 and some days before, I wanted to host an HTTP server on it.  I googled and found I should turn on "Web Sharing" for this feature.  But unfortunately, it just wouldn't start.  I googled again and found a solution (I think).  I tried deleting the disable key and
    <string>-D</string>
             <string>WEBSHARING_ON</string>
    from "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist". I couldn't save the file because it is protected.  So I tried copying all the content of the file and save it to a new file with the same name, deleted the original file, and put the new one back to the directory.  Nothing worked.  I couldn't edit the new file as well.  So I put the original file back and replaced the new one.  Then I tried to change my rights of that directory as well as the file to "Read and Write".  And I managed to edit the file!  I deleted the mentioned sentences and saved it.  Then I tried turning Web Sharing on for about a hundred times, but never succeeded.  So I turned off my MBP and slept.  OK, the next day when I decided to try again, I found the machine won't boot!  It got stuck to the grey screen with Apple logo and a spinning wheel permanently.  Every time I needed to hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn it off.  I've tried SUM (command-S) and ran fsck, no problems were found.  I also tried the method from http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20809 , but still couldn't get past that grey screen.  Cannot boot into safe Boot also.  I don't if it is a problem related to the alias of that file because I had deleted it and put it back.  Please help.  Many thanks.
    P.S. If can't solve it, should I bring it to Apple Store and ask for Genius?

    Hi,
    Yes, I did resolve it - it was the graphics card. Changed that, updated OS X and it was done.
    I can't now remember exactly which card I used, and I'm away at the moment so I can't get to the infomation, but I do remember that it was a full length card with a large heatsink, and was a bit of a pig to squeeze into the chassis!
    Had to buy an adaptor for the second monitor connection, but that didn't cause any hassle. I got the card and cable from the local Apple Store.
    It also theoretically needed a later version of OS X than was already there, but since it allowed me to boot off the CD, that didn't matter (and it worked with the old one anyway, as it turned out).
    Oh, and also of course, although it's a bog standard PC card, you have to pay way over the odds for it because it has to have different PROMS for a Mac. (Thank you Apple.)  Just part of the price we all have to pay for using Macs.
    I seem to remember that there was a certain amount of dancing involved in upgrading the OS afterwards (might have had to do one step twice), but nothing that unusual.
    Hope this helps,
    All the best,
    Brian

  • Has anybody solved the blue screen?

    I have been slaving over my iBook G4 since 8pm PST last night when I performed the update that screwed up my machine. I have spent my day doing this and that and still get blue screen. Has anybody solved the puzzle on what to do to get operating again?

    Hi, I had the "Safari & security update problem". It wouldn´t start no matter I repaired permissions with Disk Utility. So I reinstalled the OSX (10.4.11) That let me keep my files, bookmarks and stuff, but my printer settings were lost. If I replace the actual printer settings with the ones that still are on the "previous systems) folder will it cause me problems again? Hope you can tell, Thanks.

  • I can't Disable my Memory Swapping on mac ( launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to unload   )

    Hi Guys! I really need help here, Im a Web Graphic Designer and i really use alot of Memory on my mac ( i have 8gb ram ).  Everyone told me that disabling the memory swapping would really help alot and tried to disable it.  All of my friends taught me on how to disable it by enerting
    " sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist "  on my Terminal
    It really works on other MacBPro but i ge this error message
    " launchctl: Couldn't stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist"): No such file or directory nothing found to unload "
    I tried to look at the folder or directory there is no com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist and its confusing me cause the memory swapping is still working without the com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist.
    Can someone help or tell me how to fix this? I would really much appreciate it.

    I never heard of anyone doing what you are attempting!
    If you have so much memory as you claim I don't see the advantage of running the system in this non-standard way since you probably won't need to write to a swapfile anyway.  And you are asking for trouble if it does need it and it's not there.
    Finally, I submit you must have missed or or looked in the wrong place.  In terminal cut/paste the following:
    ls /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
    It shouldn't report an error.

  • Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs".  Highlight "Apple software update"  Choose "change" click "Repair"  This should do the trick.  Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

  • Can we edit the System Report queries to add some missing fields ?

    Hello,
    I'm using SAP Business One 2005 A and I was wondering if there was a way to edit the system report queries.  Sometime, I'm only missing calculated fields in the existing report.  Something as easy as the difference between 2 dates is not working with the formula fields.
    Instead of rewriting everything, could we simply see that original query and edit it to add the missing fields ?
    I don't like the fact I can't add my own created report from a query in the main menu.  Since I couldn't do anything with the Backorder reports by default, I created mine with my own SQL query.  Can't I replace the existing one with my own ?
    Thank you
    Daniel Gagnon

    Hi Daniel,
    You can edit a system query but then you can only save it as a user query (ie you cannot overwrite the system queries).
    User queries can't be placed in the Main Menu using the standard GUI though you could add them to the User Menu tab so your users can get to them easily. I think to add them to the Main Menu would require the development of an add-on that updated the Main Menu and triggered the running of the query when the user clicked on the menu option.
    The other thing to look at is using XL Reporter for your reports rather than the Query Generator. With XL Reporter you can automatically add reports to the main menu.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • Has anybody used the microsoft JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000?

    Hi,
    Has anybody used the JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000 downloadable from the
    microsoft website?When I try using it with WL 6.1 sp1 it says it can't load the
    driver.I try viewing the class file from the jar file using the jar utility it
    gives an unknown Zip format error.Anybody has any solution for this ?If anybody
    has managed to work with this microsoft driver i will be grateful if they provide
    me with a solution.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    You may want to download the driver again and install it again.
    heres a sample xml tag in the config.xml:
    <JDBCConnectionPool
    DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
    InitialCapacity="3" MaxCapacity="12" Name="MSpool"
    Password="{3DES}fUz1bxR0zDg=" Properties="user=uid"
    Targets="myserver"
    URL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://mydbserver:1433"/>
    ensure that you follow the instructions from Microsoft. For using 2000
    driver you will need to have
    Install_dir/lib/msbase.jar and Install_dir/lib/msutil.jar in addition to
    Install_dir/lib/mssqlserver.jar in the CLASSPATH.

    Hi,
    From the nature of Error messages, it looks like these are related Customization settings. As you mentioned your SAP CRM system is connected to SAP ERP system, so Controlling documents and other account postings are happening there.
    So, the best approach will be to get in touch with your functional consultant who will be the best person to guide you with the scenario and the respective process setup. You can also have a look at SAP HELP about the integration of the CRM and ERP systems along with the data exchange.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks,

    My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

    The library file appears to have been corrupted.  You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media?  No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:
