Is it possible to prevent the admin hack on a mack

Hi any of youse know that there is an hack for macs where users can easily delete a setup file on the mac and reboot it
so they can  setup another mac admin account
Im wondering how to prevent this from occuring

There's no way to do it through OS X, you'll need a 3rd party application.

This is a 3rd party that I've used it serves the purpose just fine.

  • Is it possible to prevent the history from moving entries up to the top of the list when a site is revisited, and why does it only do this sometimes?

    * Sometimes the history appears to compile previous visits to a site into only the entry for the most recent visit, but other times it does not. In other words, sometimes when a site is re-visited, the history will move a previous visit to that site out of the existing chronological sequence and put it at the top. What makes the difference in whether it does this or not, and is there any way to prevent the consolidating of information this way? I am using using Firefox v.27, Windows 7.
    I would like things to be in true chronological order for the possibility of accurately tracking previous activity, and for that purpose do not mind having the duplicate entries. Possible successful solutions might be in areas 1-3 below, and I would appreciate any suggestions.
    1. Are there any preferences in 'about:config' that apply to this? I could not find any.
    2. Are there other ways of getting this type of record, e.g. some other computer log, program, or add-on?
    3. What are some of the most accurate records of one's own internet browsing activity that one can make or obtain, with or without the browser's history function, if anyone knows?
    Thanks.

    Firefox normally only shows the most recent visit to a specific URL, so you would have to do extra effort to make older visits visible (place:sort=4&type=1).

  • Is it possible to prevent the See Also function from displaying the topic window when only one "see also" topic exists?

    When you have several topics assigned to a see also button,
    the see also button displays several topics within the pop-up
    window in the compiled help. However, if you have only one see also
    topic assigned to the button, the button automatically displays the
    topic window for that topic. The first time I saw this, I thought
    it was a bug. When I've asked other people to test my help
    projects, they also think this is a bug.
    Is it possible to "make" the see also function display the
    pop-up window, regardless of how many topics are assigned to the
    button?
    thanks in advance,

    Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
    If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
    I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

  • We have iphones, ipads and ipods attached to one itunes account. Is it possible to prevent the ipods and ipads from receiving texts sent to the iphone? Can we link them to "phantam" email?

    We have one itunes store account for all of our apple devices. I am now separated and my kids take their ipods and ipads to my exs. How can I stop my ex from reading my texts? I turned off the home sharing, but they, kids or ex, just turn it on.
    Do I have to have separate itune accounts for the other devices or can I create a separate email account and link those devices to that?

    Hi, RenegadeK. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This issue would be caused by all your devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.  I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your/her/his device if possible.  Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.  Once this is done, I would recommend that either you/her/him create a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here.  Then you/her/him would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID.  You can still keep the same Apple ID for purchases.  You can also change the password which will essentially disable iMessage for his/her account.  You could also just turn iMessage off.

  • Is it possible to prevent the OS from dropping and deleting a network share shortcut?

    One thing that has always bugged me about Mac OS is that when a network share becomes unresponsive or unavailable the shortcut on the desktop disappears and you get a glaring messaging that the share has been disconnected.
    Is there any way to prevent a network share from being removed just because it becomes momentarily unavailable?
    As an example, on a Windows machine the network share shortcut remains, you simply cannot use it but it is there and ready to go the moment the share comes back online. Is there some way to make OS X behave in this manner? Or is there a way to extend the time out interval for a network share?
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to disable the admin session timeout in ISE? Idle limit is 100 minutes. Can this be extended?

    As above.
    Customer want to have the main admin page on a NOC screen that can be looked at during the day. He wants to stop the device timing out.

    Yes it is. It will be considered an "enhancement" not a "defect" so it probably won't be given a high priority but you can still request it. The best path to do this is to contact your local Cisco team and request from them that they file the request. Then ask for the bug/defect/enhancement ID so you can track it. 
    Thank you for rating helpful posts!

  • Is it possible to prevent the Print Dialog from waking printer?

    Hi all,
    Although I have a printer attached to my iMac, most of the time I just use the Print Dialog to 'Save as PDF' rather than to actually print. However, as soon as I hit cmd-P the printer is woken up, even though I never use it. Is there an option somewhere that will tell OSX to only wake the printer if I actually send the document to the printer?
    thanks,
    d

    Hi there,
    I think you could create a dummy IP printer, using Generic Postscript for the driver, and set it as your default printer. Then when you print to pdf from your app, having this dummy printer selected may stop the USB physical printer from waking.
    To create the dummy, open Print & Fax and click + to add. Select IP and LPD for the protocol. Enter an IP address of 10.0.1.50, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Dummy and select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
    Now set this printer as the default and try printing. Hopefully this stops the real printer from waking.
    One last note. Just remember to change the printer in the Print dialog when you do need to print on paper.

  • How to prevent the use of wild cards in select-option

    Hello experts,
    Is it possible to prevent the use of wild cards in a select-option? If yes, how is it done please?
    I have a
    SELECT-OPTIONS: o_comp  FOR dbtab-field OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 'FI'.
    and, I want to prevent the users for giving in some thing like FI* with the wildcard bc it would lead to dump.
    I want an error message to display and prevent the users for making such entry.
    Please I need your help and I would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    You have to use SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT to restrict input allowed. Call this FM in INITIALIZATION or SELECTION-SCREEN OUPUT sections.
    Sample :
    TYPE-POOLS: sscr.
    INITIALIZATION.
    * Restrict SELECT-OPTIONS
      PERFORM restrict_select.
    FORM restrict_select.
      DATA: restrict TYPE sscr_restrict,
            opt_list TYPE sscr_opt_list,
            *** TYPE sscr_***.
    * Défine select-options modes (aka option list)
    * - ALL standard - all options allowed
      CLEAR opt_list.
      MOVE 'ALL' TO opt_list-name.
      MOVE 'X' TO: opt_list-options-bt,
                   opt_list-options-cp,
                   opt_list-options-eq,
                   opt_list-options-ge,
                   opt_list-options-gt,
                   opt_list-options-le,
                   opt_list-options-lt,
                   opt_list-options-nb,
                   opt_list-options-ne,
                   opt_list-options-np.
      APPEND opt_list TO restrict-opt_list_tab.
    * - EQU only equality allowed (list of values)
      CLEAR opt_list.
      MOVE 'EQU' TO opt_list-name.
      MOVE 'X' TO opt_list-options-eq.
      APPEND opt_list TO restrict-opt_list_tab.
    * Affect modes to parameters or block of parameters
    * ALL by default
      CLEAR ***.
      MOVE: 'A'          TO ***-kind,
            '*'          TO ***-sg_main,
            'ALL'        TO ***-op_main.
      APPEND *** TO restrict-***_tab.
    * EQU to internal material number
      CLEAR ***.
      MOVE: 'S'          TO ***-kind,
            'S-MATNR'    TO ***-name,
            'I'          TO ***-sg_main, " no exclusion
            'EQU'        TO ***-op_main. " only value list
      APPEND *** TO restrict-***_tab.
    * Call  FM
      CALL FUNCTION 'SELECT_OPTIONS_RESTRICT'
           EXPORTING
                restriction = restrict
           EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS      = 1.
    ENDFORM.                    " restrict_select
    In the sample, only select-options for matnr is restricted to single value list.
    For your request build a mode with all options except "pattern" ones : CP and NP.

  • It is possible to change wording in the admin console?

    I'm just curious... as someone who's trying to create a BC site for a non-profit, is it possible at all to change the wording/language of the administrator console for BC? I'm mainly thinking about the E-Commerce section.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Not at this stage as the admin CRM cannot be customized further. 
    Only option we provide is language translation (Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, German, Swedish, French).

    There is no admin, it's govern by number of people from
    Adobe.
    It's a user-to-user forum so there is no direct
    administration, the only times
    someone from Adobe interfere in forum's affair is when there
    are case of promoting
    pirated content, spam or abuse.

  • Is it possible to delete the original Admin Account, having set up other Admin Accounts on the computer?

    Is it possible to delete the original Admin Account, having set up other Admin Accounts on the computer?
    Thanks,
    iHope

    Once you have an additional Admin Account, there should be nothing "magical" about the original Admin account.
    The Account you use to delete the original MUST be an Admin Account, or the old account cannot be deleted. But that is the "Acid test" for the veracity of the new Admin account.

    Hi there!
    Is it possible to change the @... for direct notifications?
    I would like to change @conchipizzuto to @adminsocialcast.
    First I thought I would use companies' address both for personal use and admin purpose.
    Now I would like to use two accounts. One for admin purpose only, and one for regular and personal use to interact as a normal user.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Conchi,
    User roles and names can be managed in Admin Settings > User Management. The @-mention will be tied directly to the users first and last name on the account. Hope that helps!

    You can lock the device to prevent them from getting to your personal information if you set up mobileme, but unfortunately all the theif has to do is a forced restore and set up as new, get a new SIM and use it.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Is it possible to prevent Windows Phone 8 users downloading apps from the Store unless thay have been "approved" for installation?

    We are currently migrating our mobile workforce from BB and iPad to Windows Phone 8 and will use Windows Intune to "manage" them. Is it possible to prevent these devices from being able to download / install apps that are NOT approved?
    We would publish "approved" apps on the Company Portal where necessary
    There will be no user-owned devices so there is no issue with rigid enforcement - we wish to stop games etc from being installed / propagated across the estate, which is a huge issue with the current devices
    Thanks

    This feature will be included with the Enterprise Feature pack (no I don't know when it will be released unfortunately)
