Permissions problems with networked users

Hi,
We use 11 intel imacs with networked users from an xserve and run Logic Pro. I have told all students to run their projects from a temporary folder on the local hard drive and then copy the final work to their desktop to secure it for next time if they use a different machine, this seems to work OKish.
However there are a few features that refuse to work in Logic for a managed user, time stretching is one and various others so what I need to know is anyone have a comprehensive list of ALL the folders that logic would use so I can make them all read/write to everyone and see if the problems go away. A local account with admin privileges seems to work fine but I am keen to solve the problem at the root level and this seems like a good place to start.
Anyone have any tips on networked LDAP users and Logic Pro?

I don't know about the network stuff as such, but there are various utilities that hook into OSX to display all file activity - you can turn on logging, run the application, then look through the log to see what files that Logic was trying to access while it was running.
It might give you some clues, beyond all the obvious stuff (application, preferences files, app support files, garageband libraries, plugin settings, plugins, sampler instruments, audio files, project manager database files and so on)

File Permissions Problem - Multiple Network Users

My wife & I have a home office network setup for our business, and are having trouble with shared files over the network. We're both on Macs, and all of our client files reside on an internal hard drive in my Mac Pro. I've set her up as a "Sharing Only" user on my computer (which matches the username & password of her account on her iMac), and have properly setup file sharing in both the System Preferences, and in the directory itself that we want shared. I've also applied the permissions to all files & folders below the main folder, and she can view, open and save whatever she needs and it works great.
*Here's where the problem comes in...* If either of us create a NEW file or folder, the other person doesn't have WRITE access to it (we can browse and open it fine). The second I go to update a file she created, it won't let me over-write it, and I have to go into the permissions for that specific file and give myself Read/Write access. I've experimented with "Groups", and assigned both of us a special group, and applied that group access to that directory, but it doesn't make any difference when a NEW file or folder is created - it doesn't copy the parent directory permissions to itself, it makes one of us the owner, and nobody else has access.
Is there any way around this? We're both constantly creating new files, and it really hampers our workflow to have to keep re-applying file permissions every time one of us creates something new. Ideally, any new files created within that main client folder would automatically have the same permissions as the parent directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

you can keep those files on a separate partition on the hard drive and turn off ownership for that partition.
the only other way i know how to deal with this is using inherited ACLs.
run the following terminal command from your account on the mac pro.
chmod -R +a "username allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /path/to/shared/folder
put your short username instead of username in the above. also, instead of /path/to/shared/folder put the unix path to the folder you are sharing. you can get this path by dragging that folder to a terminal window.
repeat the command with your wife's username instead of yours.
warning: this will work with newly created files in the shared folder and with the files you COPY to that folder. it will not work with files that you MOVE to that folder.

I have been unable to back up my macbook to my time capsule for some time now. I received the following error message (translated from Swedish) when trying to back up using time machine:

Network backup server with network users

I have a few problems with my backup server:
I was waiting for years to be able to backup easily all the computers of my research lab. This is what I have done after having installed Leopard on all the machines.
Disks: I have setup a RAID 1 array with two 1TB firewire 800 hard drives. The drives have been formated as GUID. Next, I have created one folder for each computer to backup.
Users: I didn't want to create users on my backup server, so I have added our department server (XServe G4/10.4 server) as an open directory server for ma backup server. In system preferences>sharing>AFP, i have added the folders as shares, and given read/write permissions to my network users (1 user/1 share).
Clients: on each client, the share has been mounted and declared as 'time machine'.
The problems: Everything worked flawlessly for a couple of weeks… but now
Shares are disappearing in my system pref>sharing panel. Some of them can be re-shared, but a few simply don't want to. Users permissions sometime change to unknown user.
Can anyone help?
Configuration: Backup server = core 2 duo white iMac 24" with leopard client.
Clients: G4 & G5 towers, G5 and Intel iMacs

It appears that AFP suffers from bugs in Leopard, i.e. sharepoints are badly handled.
The solution is described here:
http://www.installationexperiences.com/?p=81
This is a copy of the page:
Use the dscl command in the terminal application to delete duplicate SharePoint names if your Apple Mac OS X Leopard system is advertising multiple or suffixed shares (-1, -2, etc). Execute sudo dscl, then cd /Local/Default/SharePoints. With an ls, you can see the share names. Stop file sharing from the Sharing Preferences pane, remove the share from the Shared Folders window and uncheck Shared Folder from Get Info on the folder or volume being shared. Next ls in dscl again and if there are still duplicates, delete them all with delete yoursharename in dscl. Next restart File Sharing in Preferences and add shares with the Shared Folders checkbox in the Get Info window. Do not add shares with Shared Folders in the File Sharing Preferences. Leopard has a problem that somehow causes APF and SAMBA SMB shares to be duplicated with a suffix of -1, -2, -3, etc. Mac OS X shows the share with the highest suffix, SMB browsers show all the share names. The above instructions will fix AFP problems. To fix SMB problems, it might be necessary to use the Finder or Terminal to delete all the share name files in /var/samba/shares while File Sharing is turned off. Leopard will re-create all the samba files based on the SharePoints viewable with dscl.
Apple doesn’t seem to be aware of this issue. At least one other person is having this problem as discussed in the Apple Forums Thread 1316884. First level and “product specialist” at Apple Support did not know how to fix this issue. The “product specialist” stated that it was caused by an “echo” due to “redundant” use of Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Web Sharing and Remote Login. According to the Specialist, “that many services are not to be used simultaneously”. Of course, we know that Specialist was wrong.
It appears the problem is inconsistent information between the Shared Folders list in the File Sharing Preferences pane and the check box in the Get Info window. It has also been noticed that shares disappear from the Shared Folders File Sharing Preferences when they are still advertised on the network. By using the share folder check box in Get Info, the problems in the Shared Folders pane may be avoided. In other words, don’t pay any attention to the Shared Folders list. Do all sharing and permissions from the Get Info window.
This problem was experienced trying to establish a file server system in the home. The need is for file and print services available to Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS X systems. An iMac and a MacBook Pro were used to set up the system and it has not been easy. SMB sharing was all but abandoned when the multiple shares were showing up on the Windows XP systems. When the share suffixes showed up on AFP shares on the MacBook Pro, it was very disappointing. This workaround to the Leopard bug may rekindle the effort to establish a Leopard file server for Windows XP clients.
Thanks to a friend, that can fix all things computer, who revealed the dscl utility.
And personal thanks to Steph Mons

Problem with network on Iphone 4

Please tell me if someone has a problem with network on Iphone 4?

Of course other people have had problems. However, just knowing that other people have had some vague, undefined "network problems" most likely isn't going to be very useful. You'll get more and better help if you can give some details about your specific problem. Include who your carrier is, what country you're in. Then describe the exact nature of the problem. Then, maybe someone will be able to give good suggestions.
And, by the way, the free bumper program ended some time ago. It also was only a "solution" for one of many possible problems.
Best of luck.

I have problem with the user for the usage of ChaRM.
When I try to set the the (urgent) correction in Development i get the following error.
There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
Meanwhile the appropriate BP-entry for the user exists:

Furthermore I have the following error, when I try to approve the change request:
Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
I would be great to get some help here.
Thank you
regards
Thom

Hi Thomm,
1. There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
In BP under identification tab,

2.Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
Assign the BP role as "Employee" for Change Manager

Problem with"Evaluate User Policies"sch task after the upgrade OIM R1 to R2

Problem with "Evaluate User Policies" scheduled task after the upgrade from OIMg R1 to OIM 11g R2
After the upgrade process is completed we are having issue with Access policy not triggering if rule is set to custom attribute
- We had a Rule with custom attribute (Policy='Full-Time') the value gets populated by event handler which triggers the access policy in OIM 11g R1.. which worked fine in OIM R1
After the upgrade the value is getting populated but even after running "Evaluate User Policy" the Access Policy is not getting triggered.
We tested creating a rule with other custom attribute,policy does not trigger even after running Evaluate User Policy schedule Task in this case too
but if we try creating rule with OOTB attributes(Country='US') it works fine the access policy got triggered after running Evalute User Policy
One more issue we observed is
- Evaluate User Policy value usr_policy_update is not updated still set to '1' even after the Access policy got triggered (as it worked when rule is set to OOTB attribute)
I believe after the evaluate user policy gets triggered for a user it should update the value from '1' to '0')
Please let me know if you have any idea..Thanks!

well, I overcame the issue by 'fooling' the installer: on second node, change the scan ip address to point to something else (ie, different ip address to the scan in the first node, cleanup then rerun root.sh, it went past the trouble stage, then I still have problem later at the time database creation. I think scan ip address has to be setup correctly (round robin thingy)
This is how i did the cleanup before rerun root.sh

Problem with both user and cmos password

I have problem with my user and cmos password, can formating clear the passward with remove the cmos battary.

It depends on the model. Formatting will not touch the BIOS or power on passwords but will take away the Windows user password and allow you to have a different one, but will kill all the data on the machine. Removing the CMOS battery might clear the BIOS password and power on password, but on most current laptops even that will not help. The BIOS data is on a chip that holds its contents even when all power is removed.

Upgrading to 6.1.1 hasn't solved the problem with network connection on 4S. Still "No Servise"!

Same here. Everything was fine running on ios 6.0, I don't know what possessed me to upgrade! I contacted O2 and thet went through the usual settings; reboot; airplane mode etc and it works for a while (like 5 mins) then service is losted with the network. I've even deleted the exchange email account and rebooted as read on the internet that this would fix the problem.... guest what....yep no joy! This is clearly a faulty software update and need fixing pronto! I've read that ios6.1.2 will be out soon to fix the firmware that was suppose to fix the initial network problem. When will this be realeased Apple?! It's hardly fit for purpose when I can't make calls or surf the internet.

[PX6-300D] Access permissions problem with shares

Hello,
Let me explain the problems.
When i try to connect one share to PC by mapping network device everything is normal - we have access to the storage and so on, but when i try to simply type the \\address\share in explorer i'm receiving "\\address\share is not accessible" popup window.
Strange here is that i can access the \\storageDevice but i can't access the \\storagedevice\Sharename
With lot of clicking and editing accounts in px6 i didn't received results, but i tried to increase the security for local network encryption to Always and voila i received access to the share and 15 minutes later i loss it again. (worked one time only)
My big problem is that i use Acronis backup solution and the software can't find the share where the backups are.
In last 10 days i have 5 successfull backups and 5 failed due to access problems with the device.
Can any one help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Stimar
Is the unit connected to a domain controller? Are you having issues accessing the shares using a domain user or a local user, both?
If connected to a domain, have you set a preferred server ? If not, the unit will use the DNS under the Network page to try resolve the AD server. You will want to make sure you have the correct preferred server or DNS or you may run into permission issues.
Double check that the user(s) have at least read access permissions from the web interface, if you have the file level encryption option enabled, you may need to adjust permissions from your domain controller as well.
If you are on a different sub-net than the px6 that can cause share access issues.

Permissions problem with broadcom-wl?

Hi,
I have some sort of a permissions problem:
When typing 'iwconfig' as a user, I get:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
Access Point: Not-Associated
And only when typing iwconfig as root I get:

Plus, when trying to change the essid manually as root ('iwconfig eth1 essid BBBB'),
it often doesn't work, and I have to remove the wl module, and reload it (and even then, it sometimes doesn't work...)
And - when trying to connect with Wicd, I often get connection problems (it takes forever to connect, only after about 10 tries). If the ssid is set correctly (if I manage to set it...) then commandline dhcp works with no problems.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks

I'm seeing the exact same issue. I'd think this is a bug and that non-root users should be able to query the interface for connection info. The failure of being able to do this is also causing my network monitoring tools (kwifimanager and knemo) to show missing and/or erroneous data.
Anyone know how to fix this?
