How to you prevent disabling remote login via managed preferences?

this doesn't seem to be an obvious setting.
i want to disable our users from disabling remote login on their machines. some of them know how to do this.
everyone has moblie home accounts, btw.
hope someone can help!
thanks in advance.

thanks for your response, Tony.
your 2nd suggestion is more towards what i am looking to do.
we have WGM with User, Computer, Groups, and Computer Groups. right now, we aren't managing any preferences and we do make the users local admins on their machines after their first login/Home Sync.
i was hoping to add a manifest to WGM in Preferences/Details, but i am not sure if this is possible and if it is, i don't know how to do it.
we have users in remote sites that connect to our network via vpn and sometimes i need to remotely access their machines. but i can't on those that turn it off, obviously.
thanks again!

How do you Enable/Disable a user's ScreenSaver and set it's time

How do you Enable/Disable a user's ScreenSaver and set it's "Start Screen Saver" time.
I am writting an application in java which uses JNI and a screen saver to lock users out of the computer unless they enter the correct username and password.
If they enter the correct password I need to Enable the ScreenSaver at a specific about of time (time can be changed remotely) so I can "log out" the user.
I need to disable the screen saver after the screen saver runs so that it doesn't run while the java login program is running.
I have this working already on Windows XP but can't find any way to program this on Mac OS X.
Thank you for any help!

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list. I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them. Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order? I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop.. Any suggestions?

That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
<http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
I set it in Terminal, thus
$ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
and unset it also in Terminal
$ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
(Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

How to remove/prevent developer mode login in SRDemo?

hi,
how can we prevent developer mode login in SRDemo since it is security risk?
How should we do that if we add ADF security to SRDemo?

hi,
I was looking at connectedUser info shown in top right corner and since it was not there (I set devMode in userInfo bean to false in order to prevent any login if wrong credentials) I (wrongly) assumed unauthenticated user accessed protected pages.
In my example I added Welcome and error40x pages to the application based on SRDemo. If the user enters wrong credentials in Login page he is dispatched to error401.jspx page.
On this page there is a link to index.jspx. By clicking on this link user is presented again with Login page but a message "Invalid username and password" is shown as well, probably caused by previous attempt.
If the user now enters correct credentials he is presented with Welcome page but currently connectedUser is not shown in top right corner (although user is apparently authenticated by container). It seems that Welcome backing bean which checks the role when user clicks the Start button is not invoked at all and the user stays at the same Welcome page although he is authorized to access the page corresponding to his role.
In order to get back to normal flow user have to logout first and only then he is presented with clean Login page and after that correct Welcome page showing currently connectedUser.
So my question is how to get back to "normal login flow" once the user is dispatched to error401.jspx page and he clicks the link to index.jspx or he clicks the Back button on the browser to go back to Login page?
Many thanks

How do you guys do remote access?

Hi All,
I have a customer with a MAC at both office and home. When she is a home she would like to remote into her work computer (okay'ed by her boss) to work on various things (she is a graphics artist).
How do you guys do remote access? Do you have anything like Linux's XRDP?
What ports and what protocol (TCP, UDP) do you use?
Many thanks,

So something like Goodreader or Dropbox would work...if the files are *.doc's you could use Quick Office Pro HD to edit them. An iPad probably isn't the place to do complicated edits, however...either of these apps will allow a file local to the iOS device to be stored, then sent to another app such as Quick Office Pro HD...or you could also have the files stored in an email folder in say, Outlook, and then have that folder sync to the iOS device OTA with the iOS Exchange client...

Remote login via ssh and public keys

I'm not exactly a UNIX expert, but I need to be able to remote login to my PowerBook. The problem with enabling ssh is that as soon as I'm on campus, all kinds of nefarious hosts try brute force attempts to crack my password. I've heard that public/private key logins are the answer, and I've managed to get the public key in the right place on my PowerBook (the private key resides on my iPhone, from which I'll be logging in). But I have two questions:
1) How do I disable logins via user/password?
2) When I use my private key, I'm asked to enter the password for the key -- ssh isn't properly storing that password. I've checked permissions, but how can I get ssh to store that password, as it should?

1) In Sharing > Remote Login, do I still need an account listed to be able to use ssh logins with a public key? I ask because currently (i.e. password authentication enabled), when no accounts are listed, login via public key doesn't work. In other words, an account has to be listed for public key logins to work.
Yes you still need an account name to login to that computer. However you don't need to specify an account in the sharing preferences. You can lock down the security further by limiting which user accounts can login via ssh.
by default if you don't specify a username when you login it will use the username of the device your logging in from. So to use an alternative login name you would use
ssh [email protected]
whereas john can be anyname or your choosing.
Put another way: if turn off password authentication for ssh in sshd_config, how should Sharing > Remote Login be configured?
If you turn off password authentication you still need to allow your user account to login via ssh in the sharing preferences or you can allow all.
2) According to that MacOS X Hints article:
"Leopard has now a built-in support for SSH authentication with public keys.
OSX has been able to use ssh public key authentication since day 1 of the beta release of osx. It is not new to leopared it has been around for years.
Just open Terminal and ssh to your public-key-enabled server. A Keychain window appears, proposing you to enter the pass phrase, and then remembering it in your keychain. "
I have not used this functionality as I don't use any passwords for ssh logins.
They're talking about the password associated with the key. But on second thought, that password is being saved on the client, not the server, right?
I am sure this is the case.

Remote login via terminal

can someone tell me how i use Terminal to login into my Server (Running OS X Server 10.4.3) at home? i need to know what command to use and also, once logged in via terminal whatever commands i enter will be controlling the server and not the local machine, right? sorry for the basic question but whatcha gonna do? please help....
john.

I've never user /accessed OS X server, but Mac to Mac access (I believe) should be the same.
Ensure that 'Remote Login - SSH' is enables on your Mac's firewall..... then in Terminal type;
ssh username@servername (or IP address). this will prompt for a passord... which will be the remote username's password on the OS X server machine.
Once you are on the remote server any commands you enter in that shell (the command prompt in Terminal) will be run on that server. Toexit from the remote machine just type 'exit'
What are you trying to run on the remote machine... I may be able to assist
