NetInfo Manager - strange behaviors - Local DNS

So I'm trying to set up local dns to a remote host that is using name based hosting.
I went into netinfo manager - went into machines - created an entry for the ip_address, name, and serves properties. I repeated this process 3 times on this machine. 2 of the sites work just fine... the third does not. Double checked the settings on server and client. Looks ok.
Flushed lookupd, reset safari, etc. Still no luck. 3rd one doesn't work.
Tried on a linux box in the same network - added to hosts file "[ip address] [domain] [domain2] [domain3] ... works fine... all three visible.
Hopped on the Xserve (which has not accessed any previously) - would not work for 3rd site.
Any idea why this would act up?

lookupd(8)
manpage it discusses how to do what your looking for.
Hey Andy,
Unfortunately, man lookupd was like greek, for the most part, since I don't do that much Unix. And the warnings about reordering the lookup order was ominous, since I'm not an expert.
But I was able to accomplish my server lookup before DNS... by adding a line in the hosts file in etc, using sudo in Tiger (sudo not needed in Panther). I put the IP and server name under broadcasthost and before ::1 localhost.
It works.

Location Manager Strange Behavior

Hi,
debbung my application i have discovered that location manager have sometimes a strange behavior. Sometimes when i start to get location only the first "Bad" point with v. accur. = -1 is returned then no other point i returned. If then i open Apple Map i see that also map doesn't get point. So i must shutdown and restart Location service and all work perfectly. I have also strange issue when i change distanceFilter in the already created location manager Instance. it's doesn't work no point are peeked. If i restart the app sometimes work.
Finally i have discovered on the iphone syslog that it try to connect to an apple site "http://iphone-wu.apple.com" to download a file" lto2.dat" someone know what is this file?
Thanks you

Hello, I see the same in my Iphone.
I search in google and found this:
"Global Locate predicts the satellite orbits for 2, 4, 7, or 10
days in advance, and you download that. AKA "Long Term Orbit" or LTO."
It's a module used in opensource gps

Local adjustement strange behavior. Bug ?

Hallo,
     Whilte retouching picture from a wedding I got some strange behavior. I wanted to hightlight the couple using local adjustement / Brightness.
But the result get "noisy". Look at the screenshot.
More about the picture:
Very low light, EOS 5D Mark II, 3200 ISO, RAW/CR2
     Any opinion ?
     Regards

If it doesnt help, can you provide a different photo that has the same behavior happening. It's hard to tell what's going on with the one that you provided

Who are all these "users" in my Netinfo Manager file, local?

I am looking at my MAC's Utilities file: Netinfo Manager, local @ localhost, users. Who are all these "users" such as "nobody" , "unknown", "tokend" etc. ? I understand that I should NOT remove things from this file, but what SHOULD be listed in this file? Where do these "users" come from? Could some "users" have been placed there maliciously?

There can be several user accounts that are not associated to someone logging in. The default accounts built in to the system are daemon, nobody, root, unknown, and www, and there can be others depending on what is running on your system (some background processes run as a "user") - for example, appserver, windowserver, securityagent, mysql, jabber, clamxav, etc. You can check the property values of the user (for example, "realname") to get more information.

Strange Behavior with gMSA in Server 2012 R2

Greetings,
I have been doing some testing with gMSA Accounts in a Server 2012 R2 environment (two separate environments, actually), and I have noticed something very strange that occurred in both environments, which does not appear to be occurring in one of our customer's
self-managed environments.
We created a Group Managed Service Account using the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2012/12/17/windows-server-2012-group-managed-service-accounts.aspx
Everything went smoothly, and the account installs/tests successfully on both of the hosts that we are testing on. I am able to set my services to run under the account, and most of them appear to work fine. I am having some issues with a few of my services,
and I believe that the strange behavior I am seeing may have something to do with this - described below:
As soon as I set the service's Log On Account (via the Log On Tab under the Service's Properties), the entirety of the "Log On" tab changes to "greyed out," and I am unable to change the Log On account back via the GUI (Screenshot
attached).
I found that I am able to successfully change the account via Command Line using sc.exe, but the Log On tab remains greyed out! So far, I have found nothing to remedy this, but confirmed that it happens for any service I set to use the gMSA as the Logon
Account, and that it happens in 2 separate test environments, but not in a Customer's production environment - very strange.
All servers in this environment are running Server 2012 R2, and domain Functional Level is currently Server 2012.
I have been unable to find any information online about this behavior, so I am hoping someone has seen this before, and can explain why this is happening.
Nick

VIvian,
Yes, we used the Install-AdServiceAccount gMSA command on each host using the gMSA account, and then ran Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA, which returned "True."
However, one thing I noticed is that if I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as a Local Administrator, it fails with the following:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
Test-AdServiceAccount : The server has rejected the client credentials.
At line:1 char:1
+ Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [Test-ADServiceAccount], AuthenticationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException,Microsoft.A
   ctiveDirectory.Management.Commands.TestADServiceAccount
If I run Test-ADServiceAccount gMSA as Domain Administrator, it returns true:
PS C:\Users\Administrator.<domainname>> Test-AdServiceAccount gMSA$
True
Is this normal?
Overall, I think the issue I am running into is at the Application Level, and not a problem with the gMSA, as it appears to be working. (Can Start/Stop services without any issues). I will be investigating my issue further with 3rd-party vendors, unless
you think there is something wrong with my gMSA accounts based on the information I have provided.

Without NetInfo Manager I have to use IP address instead of computer name

Great. [/sarcasm] Removing NetInfo Manager from Leopard has just made my life a lot harder. Back with 10.4 I simply used NetInfo Manager (after a little research) to add what were basically HOSTS file entries for all the computers in our extended private network that I need to remote control.
I would use a software VPN to connect to the private network side of my client's office:
* Cisco VPNClient (software VPN) Version 4.9.01
...and then use remote control to connect to the servers I need to work with:
* Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - Version 1.0.3
Given that the software VPN disables other communications like... DNS lookups... then you're forced to manually enter the lookups yourself into the HOSTS file. Given that OS X 10.4 had NetInfo Manager then that wasn't necessarily a problem. Over time, I entered all the machines I had to talk to.
After my upgrade last night to OS X 10.5 I now find that it's removed those entries, removed my access to the HOSTS file and even changed completely the mechanism behind-the-scenes. The help system suggests reading up on Open Directory administration.
I've tried a variety of work-arounds and none work, given the software VPN restrictions as combined with Apple's complete removal of what I originally put into my HOSTS file.
*So now I have to memorize all the IP addresses of all the private machines I routinely connect to.* This is stupid and frankly ridiculous from a company that's supposed to have a simple interface for its users. If I am to enter these values again manually I need to now become a UNIX geek somehow to figure out how to manipulate some entry system. I now run the risk of accidentally rebooting the wrong server if I use the wrong IP address.

I eventually found the wiki page on NetInfo Manager... which had a bibliographical reference to a page that yields the following how-to:
Finder - Applications - Utilities - Terminal:
To add a HOSTS file entry (effectively) for the host name "www1" to the IP address "10.1.1.1":
sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Hosts/www1 IPAddress 10.1.1.1
To delete it again:
sudo dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Hosts/www1
You'll need the root password when prompted.

Strange behavior after suspend.

Hi,
For some time I have a strange behavior of my system after I awake my computer(after suspend). This problem don't disappear after update.
Ok, so if I suspend my computer, and awake him I can't run any program. Even if i was open some application, this application crashes. I have to restart my machine.
Somebody had similar problem or know how help?
I'm using Arch Linux x64, kernel 3.8, openbox. Suspend by "systemctl suspend".

OK, maybe good idea is paste here my output journal:

Zenworks Agent 10.3.3 - Windows 7 32 -Strange behavior

Hi,
Here's my problem :
I have a SYSPREP fully functionnal that install the Novell Client IR9a on a Windows 7 SP1 32Bits and at the end i have a VBS File that download the latest version of Zenworks Agent installer to the local harddrive. After it installs it... Then a strange behavior happen after the required reboot by the installer.
You can't ping any DNS names until until you have rebooted your machine 3 times.
-> You can ping ip addresses but not their names.
I tried to do a flush dns realse or renew and same behavior... can't ping any DNS names.
This problem is not there if i do not install the Adaptive agent and leave the Novell Client Alone...
The Windows 7 was originally a home premium that was upgraded to a oem pro license if that can ring any bell.
Thank you.

There was an issue a LONG time ago that I have not heard reported
since..........

Maybe the old work-around will help you...........

Clients fail to resolve local DNS names, external names working fine

Hi there,
I've a strange issue with a couple of domain joined computers. Resolving internal and external host names works fine with nslookup. But clients loose AD connectivity because they can't resolve host names from the local DNS zones outside of nslookup.
Pinging IP addresses always works.
So far only notebook computers are affected. Desktop computers work fine. OS is Windows 7/8/8.1 for clients and Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 for AD DCs/DNS servers.
Example:
C:\>nslookup bl-sphv00
Server: bl-spdc01.bl.local
Address: 192.168.154.21
Name: bl-sphv00.bl.local
Address: 192.168.154.10
C:\>ping bl-sphv00
Ping request could not find host bl-sphv00. Please check the name and try again.
C:\>ping bl-sphv00.bl.local
Ping request could not find host bl-sphv00.bl.local. Please check the name and t
ry again.
C:\>ping 192.168.154.10
Pinging 192.168.154.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=52ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=51ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.154.10: bytes=32 time=52ms TTL=128
Any help appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
a Microsoft support guy send me a solution earlier posted under
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f49b8398-d923-4e7e-86e7-78094113c091/problems-with-dns-and-ad?forum=winservergen
To get the client work again you just have to delete a few registry keys set by DirectAccess GPOs using this little batch:
@echo off
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient\DnsPolicyConfig" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator\CorporateConnectivity" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Tcpip" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityAssistant\DTEs" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityAssistant\Probes" /f
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters" /v SMB1NATCompatibilityLevel /f
Unfortunately this breaks the clients DirectAccess configuration and leaves me without a real solution. Found some hints here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/tomshinder/archive/2010/03/13/uag-directaccess-group-policy-assignment-make-sure-the-right-policies-are-applied.aspx
So my question is now: How do i have to edit the wizard generated DirectAccess GPOs correctly?
Anyone any idea?

Strange Behavior connecting to Oracle

Hi to All,
On Server Windows 2003 I have installed Oracle 10g R2. On this Server run Toad for Oracle.
If I run Oracle console, all work fine; running Toad the ORA-12154 error is displayed.
I have tried to connect to DB with Toad from a client and all works.
Have someone an idea on this strange behavior ?
Thank You and Best Regards
Gaetano

This may be a problem?NO!
12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
// *Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
// a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
// be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
// configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
// net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
// naming method repository, or the repository could not be
// located or reached.
// *Action:
//   - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
//      - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA)
//      - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
//        directory and is accessible.
//      - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
//        exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
//      - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
//        file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
//        in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
//   - If you are using directory naming:
//      - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
//        accessible.
//      - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
//        connect identifier is configured in the directory.
//      - Verify that the default context being used is correct by
//        specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
//        as the connect identifier
//   - If you are using easy connect naming:
//      - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
//        NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
//        (SQLNET.ORA).
//      - Make sure the host, port and service name specified
//        are correct.
//      - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
//   See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
//   operating system specific guide for more information on naming.This error is clear.
SQL*Net is being asked to resolved TNS_ALIAS & it reports that it can not find the requested name.
EITHER
1) the requested name is not correct
or
2) SQL*Net is looking in the wrong tnsnames.ora file & still not finding the requested name.
Good Luck solving your mystery

802.1x "MachineorUser" Auth Mode strange behavior in 2950 & 3750 Switches

Good Day Support Team around the world,
Having started recently tests with 802.1x in a lab environment, I noticed a strange behavior related to authentication. First let me provide you with the network components I used.
supplicant:                    domain-joined laptop with Windows XP SP3 802.1x embedded client
authenticator1:              Cisco 2950-24
authenticator2:              Cisco 3750-24
authentication server:     MS NPS Windows Server 2008
1.     In the first scenario with 3750 switch when I connect the laptop to relevant port the machine authentication is successful. Then I try to login with a domain account and again the authentication is completed without any problem. Then I log off and user authentication is revoked and the machine authentication is used again without any issue. When I try to login again as local user the authentication fails as expected but the port remains disabled (port blinking amber) regardless the fact that port is configured for Auth-Fail Vlan. When I log off then the machine authentication is used again and the access is granted.
2.     In the second scenario with 2950 switch as authenticator, I follow the same steps as before and when I try to login as local user the authentication is failed and the port is assigned the Auth-Fail Vlan (as expected based on configuration). However when I log off it seems that the 2950 switch still use the Auth-Fail Vlan for that port and never authenticates again for machine authentication.
Could you please let me someone know if this is normal ( I suppose no). Please find attached the relevant debug output from the second scenario.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
basically what happens is that the maximum EAP packet size for communication between client and RADIUS server is negotiated. Therefore, in your case the switch notifies NPS that the client is capable of handling packets up to 9000 bytes in size.
EAP messages, especially those containing the server certificate, are usually bigger than 1500 bytes and arrive at the switch in multiple fragments:
Mar 6 15:50:11.881: RADIUS(0000002C): Received from id 1645/41
Mar 6 15:50:11.881: RADIUS/DECODE: EAP-Message fragments, 253+253+253+253+253+253+253+253+20, total 2044 bytes
Having learned that 2044 bytes is acceptable for the client, the switch forwards the full message in one chunk, but since your client is likely to have set the interface MTU to 1500, the packet is oversized and never reaches its destination.
And yes, I think changing the System Jumbo MTU to 1500 bytes would lead to the same result. If my memory serves me right, a new setting takes effect only after a reboot, so I'd suggest giving it a go in your lab first.
Best regards,
Josef

Strange behavior of HtmlPanelGrid.getChildren().clear();

I have some problem, described in previous messages.
Investigating it, I found some strange behavior, which I cannot understand.
I builded a small application to isolate this strangeness.
There are two pages, first and second. There are hyperlinks from first page to second. Secon page serves as an indicator, that navigation was successfull. It is not so all the time.
There is a bean, which constructs a hyperlink at runtime and which contains my problem, as I think.
The config file is (header and footer skipped):
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/welcomeJSF.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>select</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/secondPage.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>bean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>Buggy.Bean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
One can see, that navigation is always controlled with the one constant string literal -- select. The bean is called just "bean" and it exists during a session.
First page is (header and footer skipped):
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:commandLink id="link1" action="select" value="link1 (hardcoded)"/>
<h:panelGrid id="panel" binding="#{bean.panel}" columns="20" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<h:commandLink id="link2" action="select" value="link2 (hardcoded)"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</f:view>
One can see, that there are two hardcoded hyperlinks, one is inside the panelGrid, second is outside. Also it is seen, that the panel is binded with bean property as a whole.
The second page is just displaying a text to be sure the navigation occured.
Now the bean (header and footer skipped):
private HtmlPanelGrid panel;
public HtmlPanelGrid getPanel() {
return panel;
public void setPanel(HtmlPanelGrid panel) {
this.panel = panel;
Application application = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication();
MethodExpression expr = application.getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext(), "select", String.class, new Class[0]);
HtmlCommandLink link = (HtmlCommandLink) application.createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
link.setId("link3");
link.setValue("link3 (softcoded)");
link.setActionExpression(expr);
panel.getChildren().clear();
panel.getChildren().add(link);
One can see, that a third (softcoded) hyperlink is added to the panel dynamically, with preliminary clearing panel content.
* STRANGENESSES *
1) despite the fact, that the panel is cleared prior to adding softcoded hyperlink, I CAN see it on the page (all 3 hyperlinks are seen)
2) in the debugger I can see, that while executing code, the children list is empty; this can mean, that the order of execution of the Jave code and JSP code is reversed; despite this fact, I see the hardcoded link BEFORE the softcoded
3) the link2 (hardcoded) is not work, i.e. it is not leads the second page to be displayed
4) if I comment the line panel.getChildren().clear(); then all 3 hyperlinks start to work

But when I put links creation code in bean's constructor, it was lost.
It seems to me, that the system creates panel independently and only after that calls setter of my bean. Ergo, the data from the panel field, initialized in constructor is overwrited.
Where I should place programmatic filling of panel element?

Strange behavior of system with enabled FileVault2, Roaming profile

Hello,
I have encountered strange behavor of my Macbook Air after some testing.
Macbook Air 2012 was newly installed with 10.8.4 and joined network account server on 10.8.4 server with Roaming profile (synced with server home directory). After installing some basic apps like iWork I turned on FileVault.
Then I start to have the strange behavior - iWorks are not displaying content of document - it seams blank - just white screen without any borders where should be at least lines in numbers or empty cells.
Another display problem is in Safari. On same pages (even default Top SItes) it`s flashing and especially when scrolling.
Did you encountered something similar? I`m not able to get rid of it.
Computers was used for some time before turining on FIle Vault and problem started to occur after this action. Disabling of FileVault didn`t helped (properly restarted between steps).
I didn`t found anything strange in Console or elsewhere..

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
