Mac hangs for any ipfwd command with uid.

Hi,
I need to resolve problem with ipfw firewall. When I add any new route which filter based on uid, I lost all connectivity and my Mac hangs. It only can be restored by power cycle.
This is example of command I use:
sudo ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to any uid root
Tried to use different user ids, but it didn't help. My colleagues told me that it was a similar problem in FreeBSD, but it was fixed some time ago. This also affects version 10.5 and 10.6.
Looks like it is Mac OS problem, but may be there are any workarround.

  • My Mac hang without any reason after 10.9.1 update

    In my opinion, Mavericks is another dark age of Apple user lime me. My Mac is a retina MBP mid 2012. Mavericks 10.9.1 is getting worse.
    1. WiFi just stop working, it freeze and hang my Mac. I have to hard reboot. This happen quite frequently. Clicking on WiFi menu bar us Nong responsive.
    2. My Mac randomly reboot itself when lid closed and sleep
    3. My Mac just hang. mouse is working bug the screen, all apps, and keyboard is not responsive. Pressing Caps Lock respond by lighting green LED. but it do not work to enter anything. Have to hard reboot. No crash log so far after reboot.
    My hardware has been checked at Apple Service Center and all are normal.
    Apple, fix this immediately. OSX is getting closer to Windows in term of instability.

    i called apple support today. went through the same things with them, they recommended reinstalling OS X. so i did. and it's now fixed.
    so i guess if you are experiencing this same issue, as a last resort before taking the computer into an apple store, just reinstall the operating system.
    when you reboot, after the startup-sound hold (SHIFT + R) and choose reinstall OS X from the option menu that is presented.

  • When I log in to my admin account. Mac hangs for a while and shuts down

    The icon in the upper right of the screen (assuming you are using the Mail app) that looks like a square with a pen is the new message button. Tap that to create a new mail message.

  • Mac Mini Boots to Unix command line

    I've used my Mac Mini for almost two years with no problem. Normally I can figure out what I've done wrong...but not this time. I need some help from the OS X community.
    This morning when I toggled to my Mac Mini from Windows (via a KVM switch - not dual booting) I had my OS X login screen with my username and one other username (Guest, I think). It wouldn't accept my password for my account, and I've never had a "Guest" (or whatever the other name was). In addition three other user accounts were missing (my wife, daughter, and one other). All I knew to do was restart (by turning off the Mac and turning it back on because it wouldn't accept my password).
    When it booted up I had a black screen with the following two lines:
    -sh: /etc/profile: is a directory
    -sh-2.05b#
    The only unusual thing I can think of is that last night I downloaded and installed a 'free' version of DivX (from their web site). I've never had a problem like this before.
    Suggestions? I'm already having withdrawal symptoms from my Mac. Thanks in advance...

    Then, I suspect that the profile file is corrupt. Boot with the install disk, select your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities->Terminal. When the Terminal window pops up, type in the following command, and hit the return key:
    cat /Volumes/"name of HD"/etc/profile
    The result should look like this:
    # System-wide .profile for sh(1)
    PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
    export PATH
    if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
    [ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
    fi
    If it isn't, then my only suggestion is to reinstall the OS, using the Archive & Install option, saving user and network settings.

  • Fatal error when trying to execute a dml-command with OLAP API

    Hi,
    when I created an OracleConnection using the jdbc thin driver. The connection works fine.
    But when I try to execute any dml-command with an SPLExecutor the following fatal error occurs:
    oracle.express.idl.util.OlapiException: ORA-37118: Message 37118 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.GENCONNECTIONINTERFACE", line 66
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Any Suggestions ?

    Hi Priya,
    1.The entries for the initialization in the BW system are contained in the RSSDLINIT table for the DataSource/source system combination. Compare these with the entries in the ROOSPRMSC table in the OLTP system.
    2. If there are NO entries in the RSSDLINIT table in BW, use transaction RSA7 to delete the delta queue for this DataSource/BW application combination in the source system (OLTP).
    3.Once you deleted all the entries,In Infopackage scheduler option,delete all the init selections to proceed further.
    In which system u r going to do this.....Quality or production.(Better,you check with basis to delete the entries.)
    Regards

  • Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

    More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
    - I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
    - When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
    - The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
    - Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
    - I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
    Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.
    Thank You

  • I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    Do not worry about it.
    Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
    You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

  • Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.

    If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.
