NFS file ownership changes when someone connects?

Hi,
I have Users accounts on a network mounted volume. The path is something like
/Network/Servers/my.host.com/Volumes/VolName/Users/username
If I'm on a system that nfs mounts this volume and do "ls -l" while in the VolName directory
I see a few directories including the "Users" one...
owned by root
group is nobody
When someone tries to log into that system (sys pat) then the owner ship looks like
pat and nobody (for the Users directory and all others directories)
When another users tries to log in all the directories are then owned by him/her? Even though neither users actually fully logs in. I get a
nfs automount not respoding message
Any ideas why the ownership is changing?
Thanks.
Pat.

Any chance the volume on the server has "Ignore ownership on this volume" checked?

File ownership changes on deploy changes

In my web server 7.0 environment everything installed with owner:group of webservd:webservd. This is fine.
I am using Cgistub and executing all cgi scripts by a different system user. I need to do this to execute ssh, because I don't want to give webservd ssh access.
All cgi scripts must be owned and executed by sshuser:other. This work great.
However, each time I deploy [any] changes (from the Web Server Console) to the configuration, every file and directory is reset back to webservd:webservd.
Is there a way to turn off this behavior? I need to keep ownership from changing when I deploy changes (which is very often these days.)
Thanks,
Mike

Applying my new understanding I created a new Document Root for everything served up that is completely outside the instance directory structure.
Configurations > configuration > Virtual Servers > virtualserver
Document Root (enter new doc root)
Save
Deploy
Everything works as I expect it to and no code changes we needed. And deploying changes do not reset ownership back to webservd in the new doc root.
So if the user running the web server is NOT the user you want running cgi scripts, etc., create a separate area for them.
I like this setup a lot better. Not only does it make a cleaner install, but it keeps users out of the installation directories.
Thanks for the help.

Word file ownership changes after edit/save.

This may be a server issue more than Office, but I've come across some articles relating to this problem in Samba, and thought it might be similar.
I'm the Network Admin for a school district. We have a file server that is setup with a file and folder structure that allows students and teachers to access and share documents. One teacher came to me with a problem. Students are able
to create and save Word documents to an assignment folder. The teacher then goes into the document, makes changes and enters notes, then saves the document back to the folder, overwriting the original. The problem is that once she has done so,
the student can no longer access the document.
After investigation and testing, I've found that ownership of the file is changing from the student to the teacher. This is a problem based on the way that the ACL is set on the folder. The students' access is based in the creator/owner attribute.
The fact that the ownership is changing once the teacher opens and edits the document is causing the student to no longer have access to the file.
My question is, is there a setting or other change that can be made to Office so that ownership is not transferred to the teacher? Giving each user explicit rights to each file and/or folder isn't really an option when I have 3000 students to
deal with. Again, this may be a server side issue, but I've not seen this problem with other programs.

I'm picking this up because I have the exact same problem.
Students are given Write access to a folder (So they can save their work)
Teachers are given Modify acccess to a folder (so they can add comments, etc)
CREATOR/OWNER is given Read/Execute so students could read teacher comments, but not make changes to the document once it has been saved.
When I test it with my admin account, it works great. I can update the document and the student can open it to see my comments, but not change the document anymore without saving to a different location.
When I test it with a teacher account, the document changes ownership as soon as the teacher saves. Once the ownership changes, the student no longer has permissions through CREATOR/OWNER and they can't open the document to see the comments anymore.
I can't see why this works when my account makes the changes, but not when a teacher account does. We are doing the exact same things in Word.
Here is an example of the permsions as they exist on a sample document. In the example, my admin account (which works fine) gets it's permissions through BUILTIN\Administrators:
PS H:\> $acl = get-acl "L:\TeacherShare\S2 3(A) Study Hall - Half Year\Submissions\StudentWork.docx
PS H:\> $acl.access

"No Message File" error appears when I connect my iPod

Hi,
I have a 8GB iPod Nano with me. I am using iTunes 7.4.
When I connect my iPod to the PC, iTunes opens, but it is followed by the error message 'No Message file'. I am not sure what is the problem.
Someone please help, I am missing my music.

Not a Windows man myself but can't you connect the iPod, select it in "My Computer" right click and select "properties" then click the Autoplay tab and select "Take no action".
A bit of a guess really on my part.

Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share. Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when I connect my iPad2. I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes.
PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

This is not a reply but an addition. While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
I went through this promising procedure but it did not help. Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

File name changes when I sync videos

As title says, when ever I load a video into my 3Gs Iphone the file name changes to a numerical one.
How do I keep the original file name?
As it is I can only sync 1 video at a time then rename it before adding another.

Oops, Just realised I put this n the wrong forum. Just to clarify this is prerecorded video files.

Password file gets changed when an account is locked/unlocked in 9i !!

Hello All,
I observed that in 9i (9.2.0.8 and 9.2.0.6 on Solaris 9), the timestamp of the orapw<SID> file changes when a non-sys account is LOCKED/UNLOCKED. There is no change in the size of the file, but timestamp alone gets changed to the time the account is locked/unlocked.
orapwd<sid> stores the password for administrative accounts, what has it got to do with non-sys accounts( an account with just create session privs ) ?
Is it the expected behaviour ?
TIA,
John

Hi,
You can create a user defined metric which will query the table "dba_users" and check for "account_status" and will alert you whenvr usr is locked.
You can find the link for creating "user defined metric" at "Related Links" section at the bottom of database homepage in OEM.
Hope this helps...

Saving/exporting issue in Windows 7-file name changes when trying to navigate

I just got Windows 7 on my computer and am running ID CS5. The weirdest problem happens when I try to save as or export a file. The dialog box comes up and normally, I would be able to select a folder I want to navigate to just by typing the folder name, but what is happening is that the first letter goes to a folder, but upon typing the second letter, it starts changing the name of my file.
So for example, I am saving a file ABC.indd and I go to navigate to save it in a folder called Project XYZ. When I type in "P" to get to that folder name, it jumps right to the first folder starting with P. However, upon typing "r" my file name changes from ABC.indd to "r.indd." If I kept typing, it would become "roject XYZ.PDF."
This happens when saving as a file or if I am exporting a PDF. Our entire marketing department or 6 people was recently upgraded from XP to 7 and we all have this problem in ID. This does not happen in Illustrator or Photoshop and it has our IT department baffled. It is driving us crazy though because we make dozens of files a day and now have to manually scroll through long file structures when exporting PDFs, which is so time consuming, not to mention aggravating.
In searching for this problem, I found another poster on a different website who has the same issue, but no one had any suggestions.

Tell whomever is emailing the file to zip it first.

Original video file date changes when imported

When I import video files, the date of the original source file gets changed to the date of my importing it.
Premiere Pro CS4 never did that. Why is CS5.5 changing the date of the source file ??
steve

Hi Todd, --
I think you are saying my 'write xmp id to files on import' must be turned ON somehow. I did not do that, so if it is turned ON, it must be ON by default ?
It was both 'date created' AND 'date modified' that were being changed to the date of import.
Ok, I found that. It is turned ON by default, I turned it OFF. I also turned OFF the next one too - 'enable clip and xmp metadata linking'.
I just did a test import, and the 'date modified' of the video files on the hard drive has not changed. Thank you. VERY MUCH.
But, I have other problems too, with PP, and video file dates.
There's a 'date created' and a 'date modified' for video files. Plus, with Windows 7, there's a few more dates - 'date of content' etc.
My original untouched video file dates do not make any sense. 'Date Modified' is showing the date the video files were recorded. 'Date Created' is showing the date I copied the video files from the camera stick to the hard drive.
That makes no sense. They should be the reverse.
Why why why after 30 some odd years have the computer engineers NEVER made video files dates the same as digital photo files, with 'Date Taken'.
Also,
I have multiple cameras. For each event or trip or whatever I often take several 1,000 photos and videos. It's an absolute necessity to be able to mass import chronologically. The only way I can integrate / import them all in chronological order is by Date originally Taken, and then immediately drag all the files to the timeline while they are still all collectively highlighted in the order I just imported them all by date.
PP only allows for imports by 'date taken' for photos and 'date modified' for video files. And, if I don't immediately drag the imported files to the timeline while they are all still highlighted without doing anything else first, the bin window re-arranges them all by filename, and there is no way to later re-arrange them by dates.
This is extremely aggravating and impossible to work with for my need to import then later work with multiple-source recorded files chronologically.
All these 'date' problems for video files really totally screws that.

You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

File size changing when pass through after effects (180Mb file goes in and comes out 33GB on export)

im processing a video recorded of an interview where the lighting was not very good on the interviewee
im brightening up the light on the interviewees face
the file was a 180Mb H.264 file on import
when i export the file its coming out at 33GB in size.... im not sure why this is
i have chosen the default setting "lossless" as the format for export
i just want the file to export the same size and quality as it was when i imported it
what options should i choose for this? AE does not seem to tell me how big the end file will be and it takes 1 hour and half to process this 2 minute interview so it will take me an awfull long time to get to the bottom of this if i try by myself
thanks

It doesn't "increase" the file size. You're making a brand new file.
What you put into After Effects has nothing to do with the resulting file. You can have an AE composition with no footage whatsoever and the resulting file will be much larger than 0!
After Effects works internally with completely uncompressed pixel data, so no matter what you toss into it, it produces whatever you tell it to produce. As Mylenium points out, you made an uncompressed final file.
Your original video file is VERY compressed. So, of COURSE uncompressed video is going to look massive by comparison.
Read Mylenium's link to understand a bit more and go here to learn AE: Getting started with After Effects There are lots of "gotchas" like this that'll bit your butt if you skip this basic training stuff.

After copying a file from NTFS to HFS volume, file size changed when viewing in Windows

Hi guys,
I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, I have to adopt a "stupid" way: in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.
How could this happen?

I am not sure if this is what your seeing but...
The same unaltered file on two different volumes might use different amounts of disk space. This is because a 'disk' is divided in to 'blocks' and a block (also historically known as a 'sector') is a certain minimum size. So if disk-1 has a block size of 512 bytes and disk-2 has a block size of 1024 bytes then a file containing just 10 bytes will use up twice as much space on disk-2 as disk-1 even though it is the exact same file.
Beyond that, Macs can add additional information like Spotlight tags, labels, icons, etc. which make a file bigger. If you are modifying a file then presumably that also implies adding additional content e.g. for a Word document more text and this will make it bigger. Also depending on some programs are configured or designed 'deleting' text may only mark it as deleted and not really delete. This can apply to older versions of Word which has a 'Fast Save' feature, new versions have removed this and do a proper delete.
You would have to give more details like what you are doing to the document, what kind of document, and what the two sizes are.
Finally, there is one other potential difference, some systems and manufacturers use 1024 as a unit for measuring file and disk sizes, some use 1000. It will be the same number of bytes in each case but 1000 bytes in one case would exactly equal 1MB, and in the other it would be 0.9765MB.

Alac file size changes when added to iTunes

Hello,
I've converted some FLAC files to ALAC using dbPowerAmp. The file bit rate remains unchanged. However, when I add the ALAC files to iTunes, the bit rate shown in iTunes is reduced.
Example - Alice Cooper, Hello Hurray
FLAC Bit Rate - 4608 kbs
Converted ALAC Bit Rate - 4608 kbs
iTunes ALAC Bit Rate - 3012 kbs
Any ideas what's going on?
I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21
Thanks.

Nothing has been changed.
Sounds like iTunes & dbPowerAmp figure the bit rate differently.
dbPowerAmp uses the uncompressed file sizeand iTunes figures the compressed file size.
Since the file is smaller, the bit rate will have to be lower.

Saved VI file size changes when data is visible on a graph but not the default value

If a VI is saved when data is visible on a graph, the file size is larger; even though the default is set to be a blank graph. I have tested this in LabVIEW 8.6 and 2009. If you load the larger file, the graph is blank as expected. If this behavior is by design, it appears odd to me.
To duplicate the issue:
Create a blank VI.
Add a Sine Waveform VI and set the number of samples to 1,000,000.
Add a Waveform Graph VI that spans the entire monitor and connect it to the output of the Sine Waveform VI.
Save the VI and note the file size.
Run the VI.
Save the VI and compare the size to the original size.
The VI file size is larger.
In the Waveform Graph, select “Reinitialize to default value.
The VI file size returns to It’s original size.

Your obeservation is correct, and expected behavior.
This behavior is useful when you have inputs that you would like to set as defaults for the user.
Obviously, if there is a value to be saved, it will require some memory to store the value.
If the input is left empty by default, that memory is made available again.
It may not be easy to think of a good use for this for a graph, but think about for numeric or string controls.
What if the user isnt sure how they should input a certain parameter or value?
You could store a default value so they could see how they should input their value.

File name changes when I click on another file.

Regardless of which application I'm in (CS2, Quark etc.... When I go to save a file, if I accidentally click on a grayed out file while I'm navigating to the folder where I want the file to be saved, the file I'm trying to save assumes the grayed out files name. I assumed this was a bug with OSX and Apple would fix it but now that we're up to 10.4.5 I'm dumbfounded.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.
Seriously, it's intentional. It could be that they made that change at the request of many Windows switchers, or it just came along with the BSD version of Unix that OS X is built on top of. Either way, it's part of OS X. You need to be careful not to click on a file name in the save dialogue.
For long time users os OS 9 and earlier, this is a headache, as you never had to watch for that before. But once you get used to it, it's actually very handy at times.
