Invited User Appearing now at Log-on

Hello, I am using an iMac and a MacBook Pro for my own usage (do not share with other usres) so had de-activated all other users and the so called "Invited User" as well in the usual settings.
So far so good, when I was turning on my iMac or my MacBook, only one user (mine) was shown. This was my only choice to start with.
But yesterday, I noticed on my iMac an additional user at Login choice...the "Invited User". And this despite of the settings that say that it is disabled!!!
And then, the day after, I saw this also on my MacBook Pro, like if a synch effect would also have affected this other one or just by coincidence may be...
Anyhow, I do not like to see this additional choice while I said I only want to see my account at logon.
P.S.: I have not tested further what I do if I logged with that "Invited User" as I just want this to happen.
Would you know why and have a solution for me?
Thanks a lot,
Pierre

Is your operating system in your profile (10.6.2) correct? If you mean 10.7.2 then this is why:
If you’ve installed Mac OS X 10.7.2 and rebooted or ended up at the lock screen, you may have noticed that a new “Guest User” account appears at the login screen.
This is not a full guest user account, if you select the Guest User option at login, the Mac will restart to a secured Safari-only version of the OS with access to the internet. So what’s the point of this? It turns out this is part of setting up iCloud in Mac OS X, specifically the “Find My Mac” feature. The Safari Guest User allows someone to get online so the Mac can be located, but prevents the Safari user from accessing your files and applications.
We’re going to highly recommend keeping the Guest User Safari account enabled so that if you happen to lose your Mac, or if it’s stolen, it could easily be tracked down. Nonetheless, here’s how to turn this off if you don’t need it for some reason.
How to disable that “Guest User” from appearing at the OS X 10.7.2 login screen
Open System Preferences
Click on “Security & Privacy”
Click the lock in the lower corner and type in your administrative password to unlock the control panel
Check the box next to “Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked”
This prevents the Guest User account from being visible at the login screen both during reboot and at the login screen. Again, it’s highly recommended to keep this enabled for security purposes, but if your Mac is locked down with a security cable or you don’t have any use for Find My Mac, you could disable this and not feel too bad about it.
If you haven’t tried it yet, clicking on the Guest User account gives you this message:
This computer will restart to a secure, Safari-only system for the Guest user.
The reboot process is quick and opens directly to Safari, there is no access to anything else. No Finder, no preferences, nothing.

Log Out Behavior - Users appear to stay logged in

I cannot get a user to logout using the Log Out User
behavior. I created a restricted page which displays the user's
name once logged in, however when the user logs out and a different
user id is used, the restricted page returns the first user's id. I
cannot get the first user cleared. Thought it might be cookies but
not sure. I'm using DW CS4's built in behaviors (no hand coding),
MySQL 5.1.11, and PHP 5.2.9-1. Any ideas

David I'll try to clarify.
I've built 1 test MySql database, and 3 test pages
(login.php, login_failure.php, and authorized.php).
database: 6 fields (recordID, userFirstName, userLastName,
userID, userPW, userAccess). userAccess values were 1 and 0, now
are admin and user. admin is the allowed value in this case.
Records in MySql InnoDB:
recordID: 1 (Primary Key)
userFirstName: User1
userLastName: User1 Last
userID: user1 (Indexed)
userPW: user
userAccess: admin
recordID: 2 (Primary Key)
userFirstName: User2
userLastName: User2 Last
userID: user2 (Indexed)
userPW: user
userAccess: admin
login.php: Has one behavior, Log In User with Restrict access
based on User, password and access level which is derived from
userAccess field in database. If successful, user goes to
authorized.php, if not, user goes to login_failure.php.
login_failure.php: No SB, simply presents user with message
that they are not authorized for access and a link to return to
login.php.
authorized.php: 4 SBs. Restrict Access to Page(), Recordset
(Recordset1), Dynamic Text (Recordset1.userFirstName), and Log Out
User. This page allows userAccess value "admin" from database and
presents user with text Welcome (Recordset1.userFirstName). There
is also the Log Out User link to log out.
Steps to recreate:
Set both userIDs userAccess to "admin" to allow access to
authorized.php
Login to login.php using userID "user1" and password "user"
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
Click Logout
Login to login.php using userID "user2" and password "user"
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
(note: supposed to be Welcome User2)
Click Logout
Change userAccess for userID "user1" to something other than
"admin"
Login to login.php using userID "user1" and password "user"
Takes me to login_failure.php as expected
Return to login.php via link
Login to login.php using userID "user2" and password "user"
(which is now the only auth user)
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
(note: supposed to be Welcome User2)
Click Logout
The security part works as seen above. I just don't
understand why the authorization.php page always shows the first
record in the DB. That's why I was assuming that the Log Out User
function was not working.

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

Mysterious user appears logged in via SMB

I'm running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.3), and for the last couple of days I've noticed a mysterious user logged in via SMB.
The connections panel shows user name "Guest" at address "DENY_NONE" connected for 00.00 hours. It seems to really slow down the network when this ghost user is accessing the server.
I may be wrong, but this user seems to appear after I have our Windows 7 test machine (iMac 3GHz Core 2 Duo) access the server.
I also get the following message in the logs for hours after the machine logs off:
[2010/05/03 14:01:10, 0, pid=51155] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.2/samba/source/locking/posix.c:posixfcntlgetlock(250)
posixfcntlgetlock: WARNING: lock request at offset 2147516416, length 32768 returned
an Invalid argument error. This can happen when using 64 bit lock offsets
on 32 bit NFS mounted file systems.
The only way to get rid of this is by shutting down SMB for a few minutes.
Any ideas on fixing this? We're going to be switching all our Windows clients to Windows 7 soon, and I don't want to magnify this problem 10- to 20-fold when we do.
I don't get these messages when our Windows XP clients access files from the server.

I am also having a related issue that I noticed on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3, I have upgraded to 10.6.4 and I am still experiencing issues. The error messages in the SMB log on 10.6.4 SL Server in Server Admin:

Searches don't work as PUBLIC user (i.e. not logged on)

Hello world,
We're using Portal 3.0.9.8.1 with Patch 1949492 installed. This is on 8.1.7.2.4 SE Database.
When performing searches as the PUBLIC user (i.e. not logged on) we only get limited returns (often zero) where there should be 100s. Documents that we know exist and that PUBLIC can see, navigate to and open do not appear in the search results.
Logged on this works fine. All documents are Made Public and we have various different categories that they're assigned to. For one Content Area, it never retrieves anything in searches as PUBLIC, despite the fact that it contains a great many PUBLIC items.
Has anybody experienced anything similar? This has never worked on any version of Portal we've had and Oracle Support seem at a loss.
Please help!

Ross,
Hmm.. I suppose you're going to tell me that the quickest way to create a new TAR is on-line at 'metalink.oracle.com'??
This problem is already with support (TAR 2520870.1 - logged 22-Feb-2002), but thus far I've had no results.
I thought perhaps others may have experienced the same problem.
Cheers
Dave Dave
Please persevere with the TAR that you've already raised. I've taken a look at it and there seem to be a couple of issues that you've seen, which could be confusing the issue in the TAR.
The core issue is the one that you've raised in this forum question is why you don't see public results you expect when searching as the public user. This should work exactly as you expect it to.
Support now have one of your content areas so they should be able to determine if there are some specific circumstances which are causing the public items not to be returned.
Ross

How to pop up a system message for a specific user when She/He log on SAP

Hi Friends,
As we know SM02 setting will pop up a system message to all users in specific client in a specific period when the user log on SAP system; and we can do the same thing via using function module SM02_ADD_MESSAGE.
But now we want to pop up a message to a specific user ID when somebody log on SAP via this ID, instead of all user IDs in the client. Please do we have any similar traction / function module / class method to to do this job??
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Below code can be used to send a pop up message to all users who are logged on to the
system.
DATA: MESSAGE(128) VALUE 'Test message'.
DATA: OPCODE TYPE X VALUE 2.
DATA: BEGIN OF USR_TABL OCCURS 10.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE UINFO.
DATA: END OF USR_TABL.
CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD OPCODE
ID 'TAB' FIELD USR_TABL-SYS.
LOOP AT USR_TABL.
CALL FUNCTION 'TH_POPUP'
EXPORTING
CLIENT = SY-MANDT
USER = USR_TABL-BNAME
MESSAGE = MESSAGE
EXCEPTIONS
USER_NOT_FOUND = 1.
ENDLOOP.
In the above code just pass the desired user ID instead of All user ID's

Unknown user appears in get info permissions list

unknown user appears in get info permissions list of a lot of folders. I cant remove the user, change the permission level of that user. Is there a way of getting over this problem?
Here is a screenshot of the unknown user...
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/cosmac2007/Picture5.png

pzeitler, i tried your fix. it worked but only partly. i had to go to an admin account and do the sudo because my non-admin account that was affected does not allow me to sudo from it. so i do it from admin account and it seems i add my non-admin user to all admin files\folders with full permissions and no admin account user. so i open the home folder in get info, add admin user and set permission, apply recursively to all inside it. How ever, i couldnt remove the non-admin user from admin user folder permissions.
now i go to non-admin user account and find that unknown grp is gone for all except three folders (public/sites/downloads). i also checked a third, non-admin user and it seems unaffected by all the operations that i have performed. but it has the unknown grp in it.
I guess i have to wait for apple to fix it rather than mess up the system myself.

Network User appearing twice in connection tab under file sharing

I have one of my network users that appears twice under the connected Users tab in the File Sharing service (Lion Server).
It only appears to be happening with one of the users. When they log in they get shown twice with the same IP address although they can have different idle time.
I can not seem to work out what is going on.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

After a little bit of mucking around I have discovered the duplicate user appears when I mount a network volume (which is also a share) during login using a "mount drive" script. I can disconnect the duplicate user which unmounts the network volume.
Same thing happens when I connect to the server machine through the SHARED listing in Finder as it is set up to use my network account to connect. ONce again I can disconnect which simply umounts the shared access.

Invited user doesn't get email

I'm setting up an InContext site for the first time, and in order to test the "Publishers" experience before offering it to the client to test, I invited myself to be a publisher, using a completely different email address. I never got an email invitation. So I tried it again, with a different email address, same thing, I never get an invitation.
Is there a way to "resend" the invitation?
I've checked all our junk mail and it didn't arrive there. Also, is there an address the email will be coming from that I can "white list" ahead of time?
Thanks!

Hello eclancy,
Select the user with the pending invitation in the list, then click "Delete Invitation". Delete Invitation will appear next to the Invite User button after you select the user. Once the invitation has been deleted, you'll want to invite the user again.
Did you try sending the invitation to a different email on a different domain? I just tested sending an invitation to a yahoo account and it went through just fine.
If you are able to receive the invitation on a different account, you can simply forward the invitation to the recipient you want to register.
Please let me know if the problem continues.
Best regards,
Corey

CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update? Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update! it just saves gray.

If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

GDM crashes when I enter the password of any user and try to log in

It crashes and starts over again with no error message whatsoever. It won't let me log in as me or as the root user. I had to boot the kernel into single user mode to remove gdm from the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf.
This is a fresh install of arch, I just installed it last night from the netinstall image and I haven't touched gdm or any of its configurations. Can anyone help me find out what to do now?
Booting gnome after I login from the shell works fine.

Now I log in from the regular login shell after I had removed gdm from the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf. The system is currently up to date.
After poking in /var/log/gdm, I got this ":0-greeter.log" http://paste.pocoo.org/show/323740/
I think at the end that's what causes it to crash:
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
I think it might have something to do with me installing gnome-settings-daemon-pulse replacing gnome-settings-daemon last night. Was I suppose to configure it further?

Skype Manager missing Invite users option?

Hi. I'm working on testing out the skype manager for our business but it won't allow me to invite users? The option is just not there at all. The only thing it allows me to do is create new accounts. Anyone know why this might be?

Nowadays you cannot invite existing Skype users. It used to work, but Skype in their infinite wisdom unilaterally stopped the feature. Now you can only create new accounts.

Logged out of iphone app now cant log back in

Iv done this twice now i log out of the firefox app and cannot log back in. It took me about an hour to solve it the first time i did it as i hadnt saved a copy of my sync key. So this time i saved a copy of my sync key but still cannot log in. It seems like my mac wants me to sync my iphone and my iphone wants me to sync my mac to i just get two sets of numbers to input one from each device but no where to input them.
It seems like a better system is needed!

Just to add to this here are the steps i take to try and sync within firefox
Go to firefox preferences/sync
set up firefox sync
i already have an accoun/ connect
then i get the screen add device enter this code which doesnt work as i cant input it at all into my iphone. "If i click i dont have this device with me" i get takend to the sign in screen user name and passoword correct. I enter my last recorded sync key and it says "wrong sync key"
If i then click "show me how i have lost my other device"i get taken to a firefox help page telling to go to manage my account (which i cannot access)
---For some reason after clicking "show me how i have lost my other device" multiple times whilst writing this it has redirected me to a page where it has let me change my sync key. Very odd.
