Root user problem in OS 10.7

Logged in as root user without a hitch at first attempt.
After logging out and disabling root use, the next day I enabled root access again, and tried to log in using the same password. Not accepted.
I have tried changing the password but nothing I try is accepted.
Any ideas anyone?

Try in Terminal:
dsenableroot -d
dsenableroot
Why are you logging in as root?

Please help me!
Thanks in advance

yes, it was nailed for gutbunny, but this did not nail it for me. situation: new 32 GB USB flash drive that was allowed to go to sleep with mac book pro 15" 2.33 using mac os 10.4.11. it woke up with no permissions to write to owner or admin user or root. did the following:
GeoG5-2:/Volumes/DiskGO george$ sudo chflags nouchg .
chflags: .: Read-only file system
chflags: .: Read-only file system
GeoG5-2:/Volumes/DiskGO george$ pwd
/Volumes/DiskGO

short answer is that neither admin george nor root can unlock this thumb drive. and i've tried this with lock/unlock in both positions. should i send it back to the mfgr for replacement?
thanks

I've configured arch as root user, this gives problems as normal user

Hi!
I've installed arch and openbox on my computer. Since "startx" only would start if I was in root
I've been configuring the whole system as root user. When I now try to start "startx" as normal
user it works and openbox starts up too... the problem is that all my configurations disappear.
Openbox, bmpanel, nitrogen etc. goes back to default settings. I guess it has something to do with
the rights my normal user has, but since I'm still kinda noob I really don't know what to do.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks!

Now it seems the user rights on my computer are kinda... wrong. Since I've set up most of my system from root user
the user rights for my normal user are a bit off. All files in ~/ I have full access to, but other files can't even be
accessed using sudo. (I get something like "$USER don't have access to this file as root)
In ubuntu this was set up from the get go so I guess there's a kind of default user rights scheme that I can use as a
starting point and then configure it for my own use?? What files and folders should my user normally have access to,
what files and folders when using sudo, and what files and folders shouldn't $USER have access to at all?
Thanks.

Problem in running servlets over the net & in non-root user mode(FC-4)

I have installed Tomcat 5.0.28 and it is running
successfully in Fedora core 4,I wrote a servlet,to access a mysql database and it is running correctly,but when i logged
onto non-root user, when i call the servlet through the
html page i get "page not found error" .This is happening even when i do it from other system.
I thank in advance if any could help me in this case

Did you try using %20 instead of a space? I know it works for URLs...worth a shot.

Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.

Last week I installed an MSO 2004 update on my G5 iMac running 10.4.11.
Then I attempted to repair permissions. The repair permissions process
halted at about half of the progress bar. I let it cook for about two
hours without success, then tried to force quit Disk Utility. I
couldn't force quit it, so I very reluctantly turned off the Mac;
something I've rarely ever done. I waited five minutes and then turned
the Mac back on. The startup sequence progressed to the point where the
system displays the gray apple on the gray background, and the circular
progress indicator or gear begins turning. I let it turn for one hour
and then powered off the iMac, then powered it back up with the same
results.
I powered it off again and then commenced a Safe Boot. Same results as
before.
I powered it off again and then started it in Single User Mode. No
problem. I ran /sbin/fsck -fy. No problem.
I typed "reboot" and it rebooted. This time I start it in Verbose mode.
After the preliminary startup code, the system began repeating the same
message lines:
dsFindDirNodes returned -14071, count = 0 count = 2147483646
Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.
A Google search produced very few results. I don't have a backup
because I inherited this iMac from my 75 year old semi retired father
who wanted a 20-inch Intel iMac instead. I just goof around with the G5
iMac from time to time, and am considering giving it to my little niece and
nephews. It worked great for about a month. I have customized my
user account and the accounts for the little ones, so I really don't
want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Tiger again from scratch.
I booted from the suspect internal hard drive into single user mode.
I ran /sbin/fsck -fy on the internal hard drive.
All tests passed.
I ran fsck_hfs on the internal hard drive.
It returned a message that stated that I needed
to add additional information.
I ran fsck_hfs with several switches enabled, but
it continued to return this message.
I performed the procedures in Apple's article 107210
"Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: How to Replace the NetInfo
Database (Restoring from defaults).
This did not solve the problem.
I booted this computer from my external Firewire hard drive that I use
to create nightly backups on my G4 iMac using SuperDuper!.
I ran Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions on the
internal hard drive.
There were no permissions errors.
I ran Disk Utility Repair Disk.
All tests passed.
I ran the TechTool Pro Suites --> Advanced Tests on
the internal hard drive.
All tests passed except for "Startup File" which it
listed as " <Not Present>".
The description of this test is:
"This test checks the Startup file. The parameters
within this file contain the information used by
the computer ROM to determine what program will
boot the computer as well as other system-specific
aspects."
I ran the TechTool Pro Performance --> Maintenance
routine on the internal hard drive.
It completed the maintenance successfully.
I ran DiskWarrior on the internal hard drive.
It reported no directory errors, but I replaced it
anyway.
While booted from the external Firewire hard drive, I viewed what
appears to be the proper compliment of folders on the internal hard
drive. Of course, I didn't examine and verify every subfolder in the
hierarchy, however, examining the Applications, Library, System, and
Users folders two deep seemed to indicate that everything was there.
I booted this computer from my Tiger installation disk. I selected
Utilities --> Reset Password... (I think.). It listed only the
Administrator account (root) on the internal hard drive. It did not
list the other three accounts that I created on this hard drive, even
all three respective folders are present in the Users folder. However,
it did list all four accounts on the still attached external Firewire
hard drive.
By every measure, this drive and its directory are sound. I am
concerned that TechTool Pro reported that the Startup File is Not
Present. Beyond the meaning that the words suggest, I'm not sure what
this really means. I checked the Micromat site and found the following:
The Startup File has been defined but not yet
implemented by Apple.
What does the message signify:
dsFindDirNodes returned -14071, count = 0 count = 2147483646
Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.
Can I effect a simple repair?
Thank you.

I think besides a reinstall, only DiskWarrior from Alsoft...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
stands a chance of fixing it.

Can I enable the root user account from the log in screen when I am locked out of the machine?

Hello everyone,
I am working on my friends mac to get it ready to sell. I went into the advanced options of the user and changed the name of the account. That's all I changed. I did read the warning that said if anything was changed it could cause damage, that's why I only changed the name of the user account. I didn't want to mess with anything else. Well, needless to say, I am locked out of the machine. Apparently the root user, system administrator, account was not enabled and I am stuck at the screen that I can get to with my installation disc. So how can I enable the root user account and get back onto the machine from the screen I am at? Can I enable the root user from terminal? I spent a good 8 hours yesterday researching this topic and have come up empty. Changing passwords from commands in terminal is not the problem. I am given just one account to choose from to log on and it's not accepting the password because of the changes I made in the advanced options menu.
Is there any hope of getting this thing going again? Or have I just screwed myself over?
Thanks for your help!
Leah

You can reset the password.

Do you need to recover data from it before you sell it? If not you can just wipe the disk and prepare it for sale.

Non root user can delete root files, bug?

We're having an odd permissions based problem on Solaris 10 u5 x86_64, (new install, fully patched as of 2 days ago) It means that non root users can delete root owned files, which is something I've never seen before, and I've been doing this for almost 10 years.
We're installing into an 80Gb container on VMware ESX server 3.0.1. The OS takes 20Gb (2 processors, 4Gb memory, 8Gb swap) most of the remaining 60Gb is being used as both file systems and raw devices under disksuite as soft partitions. It's one of the file systems, /apps (where we plan to install sybase) that is giving us "issues"
Essentially:

It's a new "bare metal" (in as much as there is no metal) install. I created the sybase user from scratch by hand editing passwd, group and shadow, buy copying and pasting the data out of the NIS maps. All I've done besides the install & patch is setup networking manually, and created the metadb's and the soft partitions and the mount points & newfs'ed & mounted three of them . I then changed ownership of /apps to be sybase:sybase, and handed it to the database team for the sybase install. they came back and said "should we be able to do this?" as they habitually run rm rf * knowing they can't delete root owned files, only now they can... This is true even if I just chgrp the directory and give them group write permissions. They can still delete anything owned by root, even if it doesn't have group permissions just like the lost+found directory. No other "real" machine we have, x86 or SPARC does this, but we've never installed u5 before either.
As you can imagine losing the lost+found directory is a bit of a problem, however what's really worrying me is if they can do that, what happens when they run sybase as the sybase user? If it borks can they trash the OS and write/overwrite random files?
It's a VM, so in as much that's not a problem, but the reason it's a VM is somebody wants to send a VM to a client as a demo, and at present it's highly unstable IMO.
Does anyone have any idea where to start? My thoughts are that it may be a VMware issue, (though the hardware and the guest OS is supported) it could be a bug, because I've never seen that weird newfs error before, and then I found this:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6622243
Or it could be me, and the fact that I'm hand configuring it, and u5 now requires I do it "properly" with useradd, etc. I'd like to test, but the guy wants it built, and wants it now, so I patched it up, and gave it back to the database team and told them to be careful.
I'd be interested in you opinions regardless.
The full spec of the "machine" is below, sol10 is not it's name for obvious reasons, and I've hashed out the ID & GIUD for similar reasons.

An easy way to think of it is this -- everything in Unix is a file. Including directories; they are just a file which contains a list of the files in that directory, and pointers to them.
If the 'sybase' user has write permission on the directory, they have permission to edit that "list", and can add or remove files to the list. It doesn't matter who the files on the list belong to, because the files are not what is being modified. Only the list of files is being modified. (Of course, in Unix, if you erase the file's listing from all of the lists it's on, the file itself goes away for housekeeping purposes.)
One thing that would have stopped the 'sybase' user from removing the lost+found directory is if that directory itself had files in it -- without write permission to the lost+found directory, that user could not have removed those files, and since one cannot remove a non-empty directory, that operation would have failed. Since lost+found was empty in this case, it could be removed simply by having permission to write to the /apps directory.
This behavior does change if you set the sticky bit on the directory -- in that case, files may only be removed by the owner of the file or directory, or if the user has write permission to the file. This would have prevented the sybase user from removing the lost+found directory. (Note, this also applies to the 'rename' function call.) This would probably be the best way to handle your situation, since you apparently do want the sybase user to be able to add files to /apps, but do not want them to be able to remove lost+found.

Unable to install update 10.1.12 over 10.1.10 on MacOSX 10.9.5, error 1301 , even using root user as suggested

Acrobat X Pro 10.1.10 has some problems since I installed MacOSX Mavericks (it refused to use a Gemalto certificat for signatures). I tried to upgrade it to 10.1.12. But was update is impossible to install (error 1301). I re-installed Acrobat Pro, as suggested. It did'nt fix the problem. Then I tried to update with root user permissions (as also suggested by Adobe). Still unsuccesfull, ever the same 1301 error.

This seems like a corrupt image.
Try to download this again and doublecheck that you are selecting the correct OS.
Otherwise ask Oracle to ship the DVD's/CD's.

[SOLVED] Xorg not starting on non-root user [My First Linux]

Hello, I recently turned back to linux after digging up my old ASUS EEE 900a, which I messed up with partitioning fun after trying to cram Windows XP on it and etc. Anyways, I managed to fix it, and after Ubuntu being too big, I was turned on to Arch as a good distro, and I've been having a very good time setting everything up so far.
Anyways: My issue arises after needing to use a different user in order to use Chrome. I created a new account and tried to run startx like I usually do. It spat out the usual few lines, but failed and gave me this log:

I've tried looking for this problem elsewhere as it feels like such a newbie problem to have, but I have had difficulty. There are two errors in this log, I think, but they didn't mean much to me... Any help for a linux newbie? Thanks!
EDIT: Solved; as pointed out below, I needed a window manager for a non-root user to use.

Well, soon you'll have to try out one of the more minimal options, in which you don't use any desktop environment but instead you install your own window manager (openbox, dwm, i3, etc) and use small, dedicated programs. Given your extreme space restrictions, I recommend going that route! But, take your time because that requires a bit of learning: you need to figure out which parts of a desktop environment you really need, then you need to learn the proper names for them so that you can search for information, then you need to start fiddling with configurations, etc. Better first to make sure your first Arch Linux installation is up and running properly and to learn a bit about the system before entering that downward spiral.

What are the extra 13 paritions? root user security concerns?

I [was] running Yosemite 10.10.3 on a Late 2014 iMac Fusion Drive SSD and HDD
This might be a bit confusing, and I need assistance from someone who really knows what they're talking about here.
When messing around trying to secure my system, I enabled the root user to view certain files, and accidentally did not disable it when I was finished. After this, I unknowingly ran my computer for probably a month as the administrator with the root user enabled, and made number of downloads in the process (which used the same password as root). After recently realizing this, I noticed in my activity monitor that some of my downloaded application were running as root user, not as administrator, as I thought they should be, and I also found malware after running ClamXav.
Because of all this and my compromised root, I wanted to ensure there was no third party code was deeply embedded in my drive, so I backed my important data, and actually proceeded to (very carefully) separate my fusion drive using 'diskutil' commands, wiping and reformatting everything but the base system. Then, I booted into safe mode to check the "diskutil cs list" and "diskutil list" through the terminal, and was surprised to still find 17 partitions in total, including those in my Logical Volume Group. Command "diskutil cs list" reveals partitions /dev/disk0 as my SSD, /dev/disk1 as my HDD with .efi and recovery, and /dev/disk2 as the apple base system, and ALSO /dev/disk3 as my HDD again (which is an unusual addition to what I have seen as typical LVG diskutil cs list outputs, though I assume it is just be related to booting from recovery mode with no OS on my disk any longer)
Command "diskutil list" reveals these disks (/dev/disk0-3), along with small partitions, dev/disk4, /dev/disk5....all the way up to /dev/disk16. All these unknown disk partitions 4-16 range from 0-4mb in size. One of my main questions is simply what all of these extra partitions are.... are they just required hidden partitions only visible through the recovery mode boot?
Even if so, is there a possibility that my actions explained in the first paragraph have compromised the integrity of ANY of the disks on my drive(s)? I do not want any installs to have access to my root, or to have embedded anything into my core system, regardless of whether they are malicious or not. I did not do a full zero secure wipe, as I figured that would be overkill and wear on my drives, but am also curious if it is even possible that the base system or other core components could have been injected with any 3rd part code. I know I may seem overly paranoid but I want to ensure that my system does not have any security holes from the start, before I go about re-installing all my software again, some of which opens up security holes, but I am required to have it for my work.
I want to note that I have already downloaded a new OS through internet recovery mode onto my reconfigured fusion drive, and do not see these extra partitions when I am logged in as a user, however they still appear in recovery mode, re-affirming my assumption that they are simply hidden partitions only seen through the recovery boot menu. I still have not loaded any of my data however, and regardless of whether or not the extra /dev/disk partitions I noticed are simply hidden apple boot partitions, any advice on whether I should zero-pass wipe any drives and reinstall the OS again to absolutely ensure there are not security holes after having my root user compromised would be greatly appreciated. I could even resort to a full dban and use a snow leapord install disc I still have, but do not want to put extra wear on my drive it there is no chance these core drives were compromised. Sorry for not posting a picture of my terminal output as well; I was unable to setup an ssh connection to do a screen shot from the recovery partition. And thank you ahead of time to anyone who takes the time to read this and give me any advice.

These are photo screen shots with the UUID's covered, showing the output of "diskutil cs list" and "diskutil list".
I need to note that I have since re-separated the fusion drive in and then did a secure erase 1 pass of zeros over the HDD thinking that would solve the problem after realizing that these were not apple boot components, but I checked the output of "diskutil cs list" and "diskutil list" again and they were all embedded in there just as before. In response to someone elses comments I have made multiple encrypted .dmg files, but I thought I have only made around 4 or 5 EVER, not all these other ones, and was unaware that they stay embedded in your drive as partitions even after reformatting it. I also see that part of disk one and part of disk three are still fused together as a LVG, which makes this even more confusing. I cannot understand how all these partitions ended up like this, I did not intentionally add a SINGLE partition to my drive, and never separated the fusion drive until just the other day when I noticed all these extra partitions that couldn't be deleted. I'm beginning to the think the only solution is to do a one pass DBAN over both the drives, and then, (hopefully) I will be able to re-attached them in a fusion drive (which I have been able to do once now), and use an old snow leopard install disk to upgrade back to my Yosemite. Is that my best bet, and are there any risks involved with even doing that? If anyone has any other recommendations on a a simpler, safer way to delete all this extra stuff, and just get myself back to the core components so I can re-fuse my fusion drive and download as fresh OS, I would be beyond grateful.

Root password problem in Solaris 10

Hi All,
Have anyone noticed this problem before?
I've set the password on Solaris for the root user as "rootroot123". However, I'm able to login with any password that starts with rootroot (i.e. rootroot*)...
My solaris version is:
SunOS mynode01 5.10 Generic_138888-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-240
Is there a bug report in Solaris regarding this or any way to solve it?
Thanx,
Mahmood

I think by default Solaris uses CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__ which limits you to 8 characters.
in order to have more than 8 usable characters in your passwd, then you must use "md5"
CRYPT_DEFAULT=md5
this is located in : /etc/security/policy.conf
I think you may want to change the password length in /etc/default/passwd
PASSLENGTH= (default=6) change it to something of your liking.
be sure to do a little more research on the exact steps, but this is what you are loking for. im just going by memory here.

In Mountain Lion Image Capture only recognizes Canon SLR camera under root user

Being a school of fine arts we are using Canon 5D MKII cameras for use in Dragon Frame stopmotion.
In OS X 10.8.4 the camera shows up in System Information > USB but is not recognized in Image Capture (and Dragon Frame) when the user is logged in as a network- or standard user.
Using an local admin account the camera is sometimes recognized ('fuzzy logic') and is always recognized when logging in as a root user.
In Snow Leopard this problem does not exist but a rollback to Snow is not an option because Adobe CS 6 Premiere does not function well under 10.6.8.
The root user 'solution' suggests that it is permission related.
We found this problem on all our iMacs and we tried PRAM zapping and different cameras and cables.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

NetworkManager applet doesn't prompt for VPN secret for non-root user

I'm using NetworkManager in GNOME DE. When logged in as non-root user, I'm unable to connect to a vpnc profile.
* As non-root, I am able to add/remove/alter/connect to WiFi network profiles with no trouble.
* As non-root, I am also able to add/remove/alter vpnc profiles.
* However, the VPN group key and VPN user password do not appear to store properly when adding/editing the profile as non-root. I can enter them, but when I bring the dialog back up, they are always blank. Even so, I can see an entry for vpnc in the Gnome keyring.
* When I slide the on/off switch to try to connect with the vpn profile, there is no prompt for the VPN group key or password. The switch just slides back to Off immediately and I can see the text 'authentication required' flash briefly where it shows the connection status. After that flashes, the connection status is back to 'Not connected'. No error message displays.
* If I sign in as root, there are no problems. The VPN 'secrets' will save properly in the dialog, and also if I leave them blank, I'm prompted for them when I activate the connection.
* Creating the connection as 'root' is not an option, as this doesn't appear in profile list when signing on as non-root.
Any ideas on where to look or what to check? As mentioned above, non-root can maintain WiFi connections through NetworkManager just fine, so the problem appears localized to VPN 'secrets'. Also other applications (i.e. Evolution) have no trouble in dealing with authentication.
I do have polkit installed:
extra/polkit 0.110-2 [installed]
Application development toolkit for controlling system-wide privileges
extra/polkit-kde 0.99.0-2
Daemon providing a polkit authentication UI for KDE
extra/polkit-qt 0.103.0-2
A library that allows developers to access PolicyKit API with a nice Qt-style API
community/polkit-gnome 0.105-1 [installed]
PolicyKit integration for the GNOME desktop

Update/more information on this...
My typical/preferred setup for my VPNs is to save the VPN group key, but to be prompted for my VPN user password on each connect. So, this is how I was trying to setup in the applet. Interestingly, I have found that if I save BOTH of the 'secrets' to the keyring, then I can connect!
The behavior is still as above in the dialog -- both secrets are blank if I edit the connection, although they are present in the Gnome keyring. As long as they are BOTH there, I can connect fine. But, if I have either of them set to 'Always Ask', then I am not prompted for them and the connection fails.
Although I can work with this, I would certainly still like to figure out what is going on and fix it, as it does bother me that it works that way:
* Why can't the dialog redisplay my secrets when I edit a connection as non-root?
* Why doesn't Always Ask work to prompt me for secrets when running as non-root?
Any ideas? I've used the Gnome/NetworkManager/vpnc combination on other desktops (this is my first Arch), and I have never seen anything like this.

How to create a domain without using the root user in Sunone Server

Hi,
I am having one requirement to create a domain without using root user in sunone application server 8.1. Does any body know the solution?
Message was edited by:
SPBP

Hi,
If you are using file-based installation, you can install as non-root user and create domains as usual. You can use asadmin command available at <AS_INSTALL>/bin to do this.
ex: ./asadmin create-domain domaindir /tmp/justfortest adminport 4850 --adminuser admin domain_nonroot_test
Did you face any problem doing this in non-root. Unless you have write permissions in domaindir, you won't be facing any problem.
Hope this clarifies your question.
Thanks,
