Jabber 9.2.1 disable local chat archive

One of the new features implemented with Jabber 9.2.1 is to save your current chat to an HTML file.
I wouldn't have a problem with that feature, but now when you close a chat window and reopen it, it keeps the history until you log out of the client (which is not how the client was configured in the past.)
We currently archive our chats to a server, but we do not want our users saving their chats locally for various security and compliance reasons. (We know that they could get around this, but we're taking all of the efforts that we can to make sure that they cannot do this easily.)
Will we be getting a configurable setting for the jabber_config.xml file that will allow us to prevent users from being able to save the chat, as well as preventing the system from keeping the chat history once the window is closed?
Thank you.

This is a great question but the BU does not typically watch the public forums. Additionally, as soon as you use the phrase "will we" (i.e. future-looking) Cisco tends to clam up until you have an NDA in place.
Unless a Cisco employee wants to venture out and speak publicly, your best bet at a clear answer is within the Collaboration User Group forums (which require an NDA to join).

Disabling Facebook chat on Facebook while using iChat?

I'm using my Facebook account on iChat. It works fine, but what I find irritating is that whenever I access Facebook, current chat messages keep popping up at the bottom of the page, while older messages appear as a series of new Facebook messages. Is there any workaround to disable Facebook chat on Facebook, while enabling it on iChat?
I am also using MSN on iChat through Jabber (server is headcounter.org). It seems that each time I access iChat after an absence, I get an iChat message from headcounter.org. Does this happen to all servers? Is there any way to disable this?

If I remember correctly, the various MSN transports would try to add me as an MSN buddy, which I usually ignored or refused. For msn.jabber.belnet.be, I think (but can't say with certainty) that I added it as a buddy, but when I checked just now, this was still pending authorisation from the other party.
I was unable to delete msn.jabber.belnet.be in PSI. I also clicked on the links to try and unsubscribe to manage subscriptions, but the links were broken.
Although msn.jabberbelnet.be is not on my MSN/iChat list, this notification still appeared when I closed PSI and restarted iChat:
When I click on it, I get the screenshot which I attached to my previous post.
All this is getting too complicated for me, I think i'll just bear with the notifications and hope that iChat will one day come integrated with MSN! Thanks a lot for your help.

How to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?

Hi,
I have disabled the local TimeMachine using:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
That all works fine but after a reboot, the local backups are back again. For some reason this setting doesn't survives a reboot.
Can nayone give me some advise on how to permanently disable local TimeMachine backups?
Dennis

Here's how I permanently disable TM local snapshots:
1. create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/willf/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh</string>
    </array>
    <key>WatchPaths</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>
2. create a shell script ~/bin/disable_tmlsnaps.ksh:
#!/bin/ksh -p
# This script is supposed to be run via launchd (see
# ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.wfiveash.disable_tmlsnaps.plist) when launchd
# detects a change to the TimeMachine.plist file. This script will determine
# if TM local snapshots has been enabled via the MobileBackups property and if
# it has it will run the setuid disable_tmlsnaps binary.
# prevent launchd throttling respawn warning, must wait 10s before this script exits
sleep 10
integer lsnaps=-1
lsnaps=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist MobileBackups)
if [[ $lsnaps -eq 1 ]]
then
    exec "${HOME}/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps"
elif [[ $lsnaps -eq -1 ]]
then
    # there was an error running defaults
    exit 1
else
    exit 0
fi
3. Lastly compiled this C program and named it ~/bin/i386/disable_tmlsnaps. I set the permissions so it was owned by root and setuid:
* To build: gcc -o disable_tmlsnaps disable_tmlsnaps.c
* sudo chown root:wheel disable_tmlsnaps
* sudo chmod u+s disable_tmlsnaps
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
    int rc;
    rc = setuid(0);
    if (rc == 0)
        rc = system("/usr/bin/tmutil disablelocal");
    return rc;
=================================================================
Now when /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist is modified (which happens when TM is enabled or disabled) launched will run my disable_tmlsnaps.ksh script which will check to see if it needs to disable TM local snapshots.

Safari 5.0 - Disable local file restrictions Option not found under Develop Menu

Hi All,
My system specs are as follows :
Platform : Linux
OS : lubuntu
OS Version : 13.10 Saucy Salamander
Browser : Safari 5.0
I need to open a html file in Safari before which I need to enable this option - "Disable local file restrictions" under Develop menu as available in Safari 7.0 for OS X Marvericks.
Problem here is I am not able to find this option in Safari 5.0, also I am not able to find any way to upgrade Safari in Linux.
Please suggest how can I activate this.

Safari->Preferences->Advance->on the bottom. To get the Debug menu which includes a listing of Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts, among other useful things, run this in the Terminal app and quit & relaunch Safari:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1*

Disable Local Backups per Volume

Hello world!
I need to urgently disable local backups (/.MobileBackups) on a per-volume basis -- is this possible?
I was considering just removing it and placing a zero-permission-zero-byte file in it's stead, but I wanted to check first and curiously found that seemingly no one has asked this question ever before … strange! My use case is simple: I have a second drive almost constantly attached to my MacBookPro, and it's formatted in HFS+, and I do want it to be included in the regular TM backup onto my Time Capsule.
But, because the drive is external and slower than the internal, having the hourly snapshots taken gives me a 10 Minute performance degradation every 50 Minutes. This I cannot suffer.
On the other hand, I do want to keep my internal SSD to make regular, even mobile, backups.
What would be the smartest way to achieve this?
Thanks for your input and greetings,
-Thomas

[...] Local backups are made on your MBP itself, not on the external disk, [...]
Not true.
Just try for yourself, connect a HFS+-formatted (that's the important part) drive and wait.
/Volumes/[device]/.MobileBackups
will be created in due time, and it will fill up with linked backup files.
I reproduced with two disks (actually, one SDCard and one USB drive) and this is fully reproducable.
Example:
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte % ls -la
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 thomas staff    102 Sep 20 15:38 .MobileBackups
drwx------   5 thomas staff    170 Sep 20 15:38 .Spotlight-V100
d-wx-wx-wt   3 thomas staff    102 Sep 20 19:59 .Trashes
-rw-rw-rw-   1 thomas staff 216345 Sep 20 16:05 .VolumeIcon.icns
drwx------   7 thomas staff    238 Sep 21 02:11 .fseventsd
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte % sudo du -sh .MobileBackups
Password:
90G .MobileBackups
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte %
Yup.
I actually work on the external drive, and a lot of files are slightly modified regularly, and you can surely see that 90GB starts to be an issue. Im at this very moment _directly_ connected to the LAN and the Re-Backup /Sync to my Time Capcule is ongoing for hours now ... and I don't need this #*#
Thanks for your advice!

How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

Hi,
This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
Edit.
I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.

How can I disable local file access security check?

Windows 7
Firefox 3.6.16
I would like to disable the security check used for blocking access to local files.

I don't know if this is completely correct, but...
I have the NoScript extension installed. When I looked in about:config, I found an entry called:
noscript.allowLocalLinks
When I toggled this to "true," I was able to navigate via URLs to local and networked files.
When I looked it up, I found out that you can set this switch using the NoScript UI (Options|Advanced|Trusted).

Disabling Log_Archive_Start in Archive Log Mode

Guys,
I have a Database running in Archive Log mode.
I have a situation where in I have to do bunch of bulk updates for which I dont want any logs generated.
sO I was thinking to set the intialization parameter log_archive_start to false before I run the DML updates
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_start = false
after the DML is run I will turn it back on
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_start = True
Do you think if this is the right to go about or would I have to switch from Archive Log Mode to No Archive Log Mode
run the DML update and then switch back to Archive Log Mode
Any comments/suggestions/inputs woo

Hello,
I would use some other way to get a full nologing behaviour.
First, ensure your tablespace is in force logging mode.
ALTER TABLESPACE data FORCE LOGGING NOLOGGING;
ALTER TABLESPACE index FORCE LOGGING NOLOGGING;
This will ensure that you're usually logging.
Set all tables/indexes to be nologging
BEGIN
FOR vRes IN (SELECT OWNER,TABLE_NAME FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME='data')
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || vRes.OWNER || '.' || vRes.TABLE_NAME ' NOLOGGING';
END LOOP;
END;
Do even for indexes.
From now on, when you want to do your huge amount of updates/... targetting objects in tablespaces data and index, jou just have to:
ALTER TABLESPACE data NO FORCE LOGGING;
ALTER TABLESPACE indexes NO FORCE LOGGING;
- Your DML
ALTER TABLESPACE data FORCE LOGGING;
ALTER TABLESPACE indexes FORCE LOGGING.
4 commands to disable logging for every object in the tablespace.
Beware, when in NOLOGGING mode, you won't be able to "RECOVER" any of the tables. Thiis is not crash-friendly, but you'll have no redo info generated, which is what you require.
Regards,
Yoann.

Disabling Local machine trackpad in RDP session

Hello!
I'm having an issue with users in my network. Haha!
I've got some users who prefer an external mouse to their laptop's trackpad, which I have no problem with. However, many of these users have issues with typing while not touching the trackpad.
I've been IT Director since the beginning of July and have received several complaints of "My mouse keeps jumping around like crazy."
So, being the nice guy that I am, I disabled the trackpad on the local machines for these users. Unfortunately, this setting hasn't translated to their RDP session into the terminal server (Server 2012 Standard) that hosts our EMR software (where most
users actually do most of their work).
Long story short, my question is how can I disable the local machine's trackpad in an RDP session to a terminal server for specific users?
I thought maybe a Group Policy item could fix the issue, but not all users in the group use an alternative to the trackpad and not all of the users that are having these issues are in the same group.
Also, all laptops are Dells, but different models, so possibly different trackpads/drivers.
I've done quite a bit of searching and stumbled onto other forums, but found nothing to even point me in the right direction, so any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Which version of server\client OS using in your environment?
From your description it seems that you are facing issue with specific users, so for that you need to disable the track pad manually and GPO can’t apply over that. In addition, I want to say that please use client RDP 8.1 for better feature.
If you are using server 2008 R2, then please try to update KB 2579381 and check the result.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Disable Local File Browsing?

Is there any way to disable file browsing within Firefox? I am configuring Firefox in a shared environment and would like to disable a user from being able to browse local storage by using: file://C:/
Is this possible?

I did see this post but I wasn't sure how it applied to the current version of Firefox. browser.jar no longer exists. I did find that omni.ja replaced browser.jar
When I extract omni.ja there are multiple browser.js files that all seem to be located within dev or test directories.
Has anyone disabled file browsing in recent builds of Firefox?

Creating local auto archive setting by script Outlook 2010

Disable local root su - user

we're running DS5.2P4 with all Sol10 clients, and would like to disable the local root account from being able to su - account, is that possible?

If you have your root account into LDAP you have a
potential security breach in your environment. Image
that some one discover the root password and having
root into LDAP this person can potentialy have access
to all your servers.Sorry - didn't mean to imply root was an ldap user, is definitely not. Our issue is just with local root user's su - to ldap accounts.
The root account can do anything in a UNIX box,
therefore, root is more privileged than any
enterprise account.Yes, definitely understand the power of root on a system, this is more of an issue about keeping enterprise user information from being accessed by a local root user.
For my knowledge, there are no ways to block root
using su to be a low-level user account. You can do
this removing su from your system and start using
sudo.That's a possibility, thanks, but not quite the level of access we're looking for. Thanks for the help - we'll keep tinkering and post if anything helpful comes up.

Disabling local home directories breaks the software update

Hello,
I have my mac authenticating to a win2003 server and have disabled the local home directories but now the software update gives an error when it tries to download to the networked home directory library...etc....I have checked and rechecked the permissions... has anyone else had this problem?
All suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Lori

Well, after several hours on the phone, I'm convinced that somehow my ISP is blocking the Software Update address. Soft. Update works when I connect to other networks.
I asked Apple for the address that Software Update is trying to connect to, but they wouldn't give it to me. Privacy and Security issues for them, apparently. Consequently, I don't have a web address to Ping. That was a good idea , though. My ISP couldn't seem to help me. So, at this point I'm not sure what else I can do except...
In a month, my satellite internet provider is sending a stand alone sat-modem that I'm going to use instead of the set up I have now: involving a USB modem and sharing the internet connection through a specific computer that always has to be on and connected. (the satellite internet is a "one way" system that uses dial-up for the uplink and comes high-speed back down through the satellite) This new modem will serve as the dial up modem and also has two ethernet connections so I can send one directly to my router and the other to my wired desktop. I hope by taking the host computer out of the equation I'll also solve this issue. Who knows.
Anyway, thanks for the info. I appreciate your feedback and if you have any other ideas, I'd love to see them.

Disabling Voice chat in game Center games

I would like to disable the voice chat feature entirely out of Game Center based games. My kids occasionally play the iPad and I've heard them conversing with random people over games.

Just for the record and for the other concerned parents, I've taken the iPad away for now until I can get this figured out. Thank you all for your forthcoming help!
