Scp works when logging with my user id but fails when using another one

Hello all:
I wrote a script that uses scp to transfer specific local files to a server. The script takes the user id and password and pass them as scp's parameters for authentication.
Everything works fine when I uses my own user id to test the script but it fails when I used another id (with ligitimate password) to do the same thing.
I suspect it's a privilege issue. Both ids belong to the same group. Where should I look to fingure this out?
Thanks,
John

SCP is part of SSH. SSH requires the exchange of authorization keys to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
When you log in the first time you may see a prompt like:
RSA key fingerprint is 98:2e:d7:e0:de:9f:ac:67:28:d2:42:2e:37:16:58:45.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
This might be where your script fails. Since it prompts only the first time, you may just have to do one interactive SSH login to create an entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
Or setup User equivalence to omit the exchange of passwords.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

Unit test runs perfectly fine with NUnit but fails when run from TestExplorer

Hello all,
I have a TestProject, Harmony.Tests. In there, I have a method AddApplicationEvent()
which calls another method Send(InvokeRequestMessage requestMessage) which calls a webservice (OperationHandlerBrokerWebService).
The code snippet looks like this. This is not the complete code but a part where we are calling the web service. It fails on the underlined Italic line of code.
OperationHandlerBrokerWebService brokerService = new OperationHandlerBrokerWebService();
brokerService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
brokerService.Url = address;
brokerService.Timeout = timeoutInMilliseconds;
byte[] serializedResponseMessage = brokerService.InvokeOperationHandler(serializedRequestMessage);
The same test works and passed fine when I ran it with NUnit, but failed with following exception when I tried to run it from TestExplorer.

Hi Tina,
Thanks for your reply.
I do have NUnit adapter installed. I even noticed that the test runs fine with NUnit GUI and also if I run it through Resharper Test Explorer window.
As you can see in the image above the same test is passed when I ran it from Resharper Unit Test Explorer window but fails when I ran it from Test Explorer window. I also captured the information on fiddler.
There was a significant difference in the Header Content length. Also under the User-Agent property the protocol versions are different.
Not sure why VSTest ExecutionEngine is picking a different version.
The UnitTest in question is calling a webservice method which in turn calls a method from another referenced project.

SSIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid

SIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid
Relatively simple package to get OLE-DB connection to MS FoxPro 9.0 DB
The failure in the job log states that the path is invalid its a network path (\\192.168.1.xxx\foldername) this has been run several ways with the remote computer being mapped as a network drive and through the \\ notation described above.
Thinking it was a security issue between the SQL agent account and my account I tested by subsitution myself as a proxy account for the agent when running this job, again same result failed on network path.
One issue I see is that the remote computer is running Server 2000 (legacy software incompatable with newer versions)
Is it possible that this is a security issue, since if i understand correctly the current MS domain security model didn't exist until Server 2003.

Hi REIData,
Have you got the issue resolved? Based on your description, please make sure the target folder is shared properly. If the computer on which the SQL Server Agent job runs doesn’t join the domain as the server that hosts the shared folder, you have to share
the folder with everyone by adding “Everyone” to the people list on the File Sharing page of the folder and assign "Read/Write" permission to it.

Logon of user in client failed when starting a step

Hi All,
I have a question. (Might be simple to many).
Logon of user in client failed when starting a step.
Some of my scheduled jobs are getting cancelled due to the above error. It has been noted that the user corresponding to that job has been locked.
Can anybody suggest how to change the user of a Background Job (without deleting and re-creating the same).
Thanks and Regards
Devanand

Hi
You cannot change the owner of the job once it is in released status.
Better, create the job with same varient by an existing user and delete the cancelled job.
regards,
Vinodh.

Is your Apple ID set properly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores?
If so, log out from there and log back in.
If that doesn't solve it (it should), check Settings > General > Restrictions

I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

mr
Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
More later.

Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Prompt user for input when rdp with same user as logged in

What I am trying to achieve: user dragos is logged in on a domain computer. When I connect with rdp with the username dragos on the computer I want user dragos to be asked if he allows the connection or not not to be taken over.
When you connect as different user it is being asked, but not when connecting as same user as logged in.
Searching for solutions I found this: Administrative Templates\Windows components\Remote desktop services\Remote desktop session host\Connections\Set rules for remote control of Remote Desktop Services user sessions and give it Full control with user
permission.
But it does not work as I was expecting.
Is there a solution for the logged in user to be promped if connecting with the same user name ?
Thank you

Hi,
user dragos is logged in on a domain computer. When I connect with rdp with the username dragos on the computer I want user dragos to be asked if he allows the connection or not not to be taken over.
As far as I know, there is no built-in method to achieve this.
You may try to search whether there any third-party tools which can achieve this, or write a script.

BRTOOLS errno 13 when logged in as user sid adm

Hi,
Just upgraded to 7.2 (14) BRTOOLS, Netweaver on Oracle/UNIX platform.
My brtools open when I'm logged in as ora<sid> user, however they fail with permissions on the Oracle directories when I try and run brtools as user <sid>adm.
I've verified the file permissions against a known working instance on the br files and they are matching.
The error I get is below, I know it must be file permissions somewhere, can someone advise, thanks.

Hi Richie,
Are the environment variables properly set for <sid>adm and ora<sid>?
Try to see if the dot (.) profiles in the home directories of <sid>adm and ora<sid> are consistent.
Also, as ora<sid> recursively change the permissions for /oracle/S02/saptrace to 755 [chmod -R 755 /oracle/S02/saptrace]
Also check the permissions of brtools executables in the /sapmnt/<SID>/exe on the database server.
Normally, they should be something like shown below.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 <sid>adm sapsys 1578637 Feb 20 2011 brrestore
-rwsrwxr-x 1 ora<sid> sapsys 2303924 Feb 22 2011 brtools

Error Message when logging on 2nd user on XP

I have an XP system with two users. For the past week or so, an error has been displaying when you log on the 2nd user. The error is an IE explorer window that says "This Web Page can not be displayed" and there is a little red Verizon logo in the upper left corner.
I ran MSConfig on the 2nd user and there is a line to run something called redirector. The command line is:
C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciBrowser.exe -AppKey=Verizon -URL=file://C:\Program Files\Verizon\OfflineUpdate\redirector.htm
I do not have this line in my startup on User1. I also do not have a folder called OfflineUpdate under my Program Files\Verizon which is why it is failing. I suspect that what ever it was removed itself after it ran and a multi-user logon was not considered in the program design. But I'm not certain. I have FIOS Internet, TV and phone. No blackberry or other device that I may sync mail to.
Does anyone have any idea what this is? My plan is to either disable it with MSConfig - or just remove the RUN key from registry but I'd like to have an idea of what it was
Thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong with disabling it in MSConfig for testing reasons.
It causes issues, you can re-enable it.
