Security in Lion 10.7.3?

My first line of security with my desktop Mac Pro is to force password entry after screen saver activation or sleep. This has been a nightmare to get working! Finally, after deleting preference files, changing preference settings, quitting preferences then relaunching and changing a setting back, I seem to have it working. It shouldn't be this way. I've had the combo of Energy Saver, Screen Saver and Privacy settings working to provide the first level of "physical security" for years on previous operating systems. In this respect, Lion is dismal at best.
RW.

As well, the system cannot be programmed to sleep after a certain time. Well . . . It sleeps for a minute or two then wakes . . . No Ethernet calls allowed, no sharing machines on at the time . .  So each night I must sleep the computer manually. Easy to forget and noisy when I do forget.

  • I just bought a powerbook - week ago - acting totally buggy-have i been hacked due to poor security of lion?

    i was hacked with my old mac book i just bought a macbook pro - week ago it is acting totally buggy - tried 3 browsers safari opera and now firefox - won't download embeded video - just stops etc - what security 'fixes' are available for lion to prevent hacking battery component and malware installed

    You have not been hacked.  It's impossible to speculate about what exactly the problem is, since all you've said is that it won't download embedded video.  You may just need to update Flash, or you may be using a bad site, or you may have a bad internet connection...  impossible to say with such sparse data.  But it's not hacking and it's unlikely to be malware.  Regarding the malware issue, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • Securing virtual memory

    In 10.6 there was a setup for secure virtual memory that does not seem to exist in 10.7 (use to be in System Preferences>Security&Privacy).  Does this mean that virtual memory is automatically secured in Lion?

    190 GB is correct, and is not unusual. You are probably making the very common mistake of confusing Virtual Memory and Swap space (what you translated as "switch file"). They are not the same thing. Virtual memory is an abstract concept. It does not correspond to disk space or any other real resource.

  • Time Capsule / Leopard 10.5.8 / Time Machine / Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found / OSStatus error -6602

    Hi,
    I'm facing a big issue with Time Machine on my Mac Book running Leopard 10.5.8 (build 9L31a) and my Time Capsule (firmware 7.6.1 (76100.4)).
    I have searched a lot (during 3 days !!) to find a solution but no luck !
    I have the same syntoms as described by LUNY in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9364556#9364556
    To quickly summarize:
    My MacBook was configured to use my Time Capsule as backup disk. Everything went fine during 2 years and then one day I suddently got problems with time machine !
    Time Machine was unable to access my Time Capsule. Moreover it was drastically slowing down my MacBook !
    So:
    1. I stopped Time Machine and tried to change the backup disk: every time I chose my Time Capsule Disk, I got a OSStatus error -6602
    2. Then, I tried to access my Time Capsule from the Finder -> slow and then got this message 'Disk can't be opened because the original item can't be found'
    3. I searched in the logs for the specific reason and I found:
       - system.log (/var/log) :
          myMacBook kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
          myMacBook /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[198]: NetworkNode::handleMountCallBack returned -6602 (the same error)
          myMacBook ReportCrash[358]: Saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/kextload_2012-12-30-112946_myMacBook.crash using uid: 0 gid: 0, euid: 0 egid: 0
       - In CrashReporter (/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/): i see the problem coming from kextload with this exception:
           Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
           Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000a, 0x000000000122d000
    4. I tried to mount the time capsule disk with Terminal (AFP protocol):
       > mount -t afp afp://admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termAFPData/
       result -> mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error 19, errno is 19
    These errors (6602 and 19) are neither documented anywhere nor associated to a clear description of the problem. The only thing I have found is that errno 19 is an IO error -> http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/CarbonHeaders/CarbonHeaders-18.1/MacError s.h
    On the other hand, and this is the really weird part of the issue, my time capsule disk works well when I mount it with SMB protocol !!! (Or when I access it with a Windows XP machine).
    So, the workaround is: mount -t smbfs //admin:[email protected]/Data /Volumes/termSMBData/
    Or, in Finder -> Connect to server and there use the URL: smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Data
    Not sure what is going on ... but I pretty sure that's a bug and not a hardware problem.
    Is there someone who has already found a solution for this kind of behaviour ?
    It would avoid me a lot of headaches and improve the support for this kind of problem.
    Thanks !!!

    When you say: "I would though go back to 7.5.2 firmware." Do you mean a reset to factory default ?
    Greetz
    NO, your time capsule is running 7.6.1 but it is built with AFP following increased security for LION.. that is not required or available in Leopard.. so there is no point.. it is also not as stable on the older hardware.. at least in my experience.. I have repaired about 200 of the suckers so I do see a few.
    When you select firmware update in the airport utility.. hold the option key.. all valid firmware versions for your TC then show up.. not only upgrades.. select 7.5.2 and upgrade to that.
    Do a factory reset when you do it is a good idea though.. start off again.
    And do reset of TM.. A4 in pondini.
    See if it helps.
    Oh, the TC will continually complain about needing a firmware update.. turn off automatic checking of updates.. it will still annoy you for fun every few weeks but that is better than daily.

  • Software Update Server + Caching Service Questions

    Hello everyone.
    I'm currently trying to finish setting up our Caching service along with SUS and am running into some issues I hope to get some help with.  Our environment is configured as the following:
    --  OS X Server 3.1.1 with clients running OS X 10.8.5 and 10.9.2.
    --  All machines are bound and receiving GP via an AD environment using Centrify.
    --  GP pushes out the following two scripts to all machines:
         *  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore restrict-store-softwareupdate-only -bool yes  -->  Setting which disables         all aspects of the App Store except for the Updates section
         *  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://it0038-mmd.coveroregon.us:8088/catalogs.sucatalog          -->  Setting which redirects all of our machines to point to our SUS within our AD environment.
    The problem I'm having is that I believe the Caching Service is working properly (at least with the 10.9.x clients) but it doesn't look like it is with the 10.8.5 clients; the same with SUS but for all clients.  I have two machines with clean images running 10.8.5 and 10.9.0 that I took on 03/05/14; after applying the images and going to Software Update before joining them to my AD environment the following shows as available:
    10.8.5. via Software Update  -->  Java for OS X 2013-005 1.0, Safari 6.1.3
    10.8.5 via Caching  -->  Nothing appears.
    10.9.0 via Software Update  -->  Digital Camera RAW Compatability Update 5.04, iBooks Update 1.0.1, iTunes 11.1.5, Java for OS X 2013-005 1.0, OS X Update Combined 10.9.2, Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.1
    10.9.0 via Caching  -->  Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand, Pages, iMovie, iPhoto
    Once I join them to my AD environment and have the scripts run on the machines the following appears within Software Update on both machines:
    10.8.5 Clients  -->  Nothing appears!
    10.9.0 Clients  -->  Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand, Pages, iMovie, iPhoto
    It looks like Caching is working properly but I'm wondering why nothing shows up on my 10.8.5 clients but I'm guessing it's because the Java and Safari updates are with SUS?  I'm also guessing the other updates showing up on my 10.9.0 clients are specifically for Mavericks and hence why they're not also appearing on my 10.8.5 clients?  Of course the main issue here is that I can't get my machines to see SUS properly.
    I'm happy to supply any logs or anything else that would help get this issue resolved.  It's really driving me nuts!  **** a Starbucks GC or other compensation is in it if someone can help me! 
    Thanks in advance!

    MrHoffman,
    According to SUS I currently have 769 updates and they are all downloaded.  When I check all of the logs I see the following:

  • Mac Pro wont restart after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello,
    I have Mc Pro 3,1 8 cores with OS X 10.5.8. I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then download another upgrade to 10.6.3. The download was successful but I need to restart my Mac Pro but it won't restart. I'm seeing Apple Purple/Pink in desktop. I waited for an hour to seee if it will change but nothing Happen. Can anybody help.
    Thank you
    Arnold

    My own method, is to keep the old system as is, your safety net, and to do a clean install and let Setup Assistant help afterward.
    If or when you upgrade past Snow Leopard be sure to do so, leave everything behind, Lion and above do not include support for the PowerPC coded apps and would cause trouble.
    I think we have reached point where only 10.9.5 and Yosemite get full security support, Lion and earlier are gone as far as support and Lion did introduce a security bug just squashed finally but only in those later versions.

  • Time Capsule "Data" Volume won't Mount

    I've been using a Time Capsule (4th Gen/2TB) for both my rMBP Time Machine backups and as a NAS device. After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've experienced some problems. For the past few weeks, my Time Machine backups have been frequently interrupted with an error message stating that my Backup Disk is non-journaled and non-extended, and to please choose an alternate disk.  Although unsettling, after pressing return - and upon connecting the power cord (as I opted only to backup when using the power cord), Time Machine has always propmtly resumed.  This has probably occurred daily.
    Today however, I've been unable to actually mount the Data volume, although my network is functioning properly, and I can access the Internet.  The Time Capsule status indicator is green, its icon appears in the Finder sidebar, and Airport Utility recognizes it and displays its correct settings.  Upon trying to connect (via Finder), however, an error message states that the server (in this case, the Time Capsule, I guess) can't be located, and suggets I check my network settings and try again.  Needless to say, the settings appear fine.
    An admittedly brief search within this forum yielded no discussions concerning this specific problem, but I'm hoping the community's more knowledgable members will be able to at least provide some helpful insights, if not a solution to this problem.
    The inability to back up my rMBP, access my spasebundle, or manage my externally stored files is very disconcerting.  Any solutions, or insights regarding this issue will be gratefully received. 
    Michael Henke

    There is clearly a bug in Lion that was exacerbated in Mountain Lion, which Apple is yet to fess up to. This loss of connection happens and there is no fix I can give you other than reboot to get the network running again.
    I would strongly recommend against using the TC as a NAS.. it is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.
    If you want a NAS then buy a true NAS, synology or Qnap, being the top products in that field. They have raid and automatic backup with units where you can access hard disks and can replace them. TC is a sealed unit without any way to back itself up. The design was never as a NAS.
    Since your TC is an older one, can you try running 7.5.2 firmware. None of the TC made in the last year or more can go back that far.. they are all stuck on 7.6, the earlier Gen4 did have 7.5.2 which I think has better stability..
    Now exactly what issues come up with ML I am not sure, but I would be interested to hear your experience.
    Please do a backup particularly of your itunes before you start fiddling.
    Is the TC main router in the network or is it bridged? I have a few suggestions for each type of setup, which may keep it running longer.. but nothing is absolute fix.
    Note also the TC seems to be the main problem device.. but the OS does still have issues.. some changes were made with AFP security at Lion, which have not worked very well.

  • Root/admin access for user account

    I'm not sure the best way to explain this, but, I want my user account to be able to write/read ANY file on my HDD. How do I enable that in Lion? I've already added my user to the admin group, but, to no avail. Essentially I want to do $> sudo chmod -R a+rwx /, but, without having to do that.
    Yes, I understand that your everyday account shouldn't have this type of access and you should only elevate privleges when necessary. W/ that in mind, I'd really appreciate answers (or links) detailing how to do this and not explaining why I shouldn't do this.
    Thanks, and let me know if I should explain what I need in more detail.
    - Matt

    The top level of the hard drive has always been an admin-only area. In 10.6 and earlier, the admin group could write there. Now in 10.7, only root can write there. It was changed for security reasons. Apple realized that not many people are following their security guidelines and are running as admin users all the time, and so they have tightened up security in Lion.
    User files should not be put there. Put them in your home folder or in /Users/Shared if you wish multiple users to access them.

  • No Mavericks software updates on my SUS

    I just checked the available updates on my OS X server and noticed there are no Mavericks updates. For example, the Mavericks 10.9.1 update is not listed. Is there a way to refresh this so these updates are downloaded and enabled. I'm running SUS in "Automatic" mode and have selected "Check for Updates".
    Thanks

    I'm not sure how to enable caching server... I'll do a search and see what I can come up with.

  • BUG: Degraded performance, unresponsive system, syslog flooded with IOUserClient.cpp kernel errors when Time Machine starts (10.8.5 Server)

    Every couple of months, my 2009 Mac Mini becomes suddenly unresponsive to Screen Sharing, Remote Desktop, AFP/SMB connections, VPN connections, and even SSH logins.  It was still pingable, and the router showed many active network connections from an application that I knew was still running on it.
    It is a headless machine, so the only way I can gain control is to manually reboot.
    The Time Machine volume is an iSCSI target on a Synology DS412+ connected from the Mac by GlobalSAN's iSCSI Initiator v5.2.0.429.  I am using iSCSI because of poor performance using Time Machine directly over AFP.
    I looked at the logs this time and found a direct link between the starting of the backupd service and the appearance of these log entries.  It has happened once every hour for the last 7 days.

    Thanks a lot for this really quick reply.
    When you say: "I would though go back to 7.5.2 firmware." Do you mean a reset to factory default ?
    Greetz
    NO, your time capsule is running 7.6.1 but it is built with AFP following increased security for LION.. that is not required or available in Leopard.. so there is no point.. it is also not as stable on the older hardware.. at least in my experience.. I have repaired about 200 of the suckers so I do see a few.
    When you select firmware update in the airport utility.. hold the option key.. all valid firmware versions for your TC then show up.. not only upgrades.. select 7.5.2 and upgrade to that.
    Do a factory reset when you do it is a good idea though.. start off again.
    And do reset of TM.. A4 in pondini.
    See if it helps.
    Oh, the TC will continually complain about needing a firmware update.. turn off automatic checking of updates.. it will still annoy you for fun every few weeks but that is better than daily.

  • I am having email problems with the new Lion.  stmp, imap, etc. I have looked up google info and It is confusing when it comes to TS, SSL also, please explain how to set it up so my email goes out and comes in securely.  Help

    I am having email problems with the new Mountain Lion.  stmp, imap, etc. I have looked up google info and It is confusing when it comes to TS, SSL also, please explain how to set it up so my email goes out and comes in securely.  Help
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:
    imap.gmail.com
    Use SSL: Yes
    Port: 993
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:
    smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
    Port: 465 or 587
    Account Name:
    your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
    Email Address:
    your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
    Password:
    your Gmail password
    The Quick Answer
    Follow the instructions below to set up IMAP1 access in most email clients.
    Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

  • I updated to Mountain Lion. I noticed 2 problems I would like to resolve. I can no longer get iCloud or Security

    Since updating to Mountain Lion I cannot LOAD iCloud or Security & Privacy. It just says ..."Loadind iCloud or Security & Privacy". Then I have to kill the process in Activity Monitor since it taks 99%+ of cpu. How can I get iCloud and Security & Privacy to load?

    I tried the part about logon as ROOT and rename the Preferences file and logon as normal but that did not correct my problem.

  • Iphoto 9.4.3 does not open after security update. osx 10.7.5 Lion is running

    Last used iphoto  a month ago to upload photos. Today attempted to upload daughter's gymnastic photos and iphoto 9.4.3 will not open. Stops at dialog that says it must be updated to open my library. But I run Lion not Maverick. The new iphoto only runs on Maverick. Only system change I can think of since end january is the security update I did a few days ago. I've checked the iphoto library and it seems intact with 43 gigs of photo etc stored over last 10 years.
    MacApp says new update available 9.5, but it doesn't work with my Lion. I don't want to change anything right now.
    Computer is MacPro G5 2009.

    OK - good luck
    Generally it is better to resolve problems and then upgrade since generally problems have nothing to do with the Application but are data problems which can be made more difficult to resolve by upgrading the software while the problem still exists

  • Mountain Lion (10.8.5) Security Update 2014-003 installation fails

    Hello,
    I tried to install the new Security Update for Mountain Lion (2014-003) and received an error message at the end of the installation process a la:
    "The installation failed". The Installation fails because of an error. Please contact your vendor (roughly translated from German).
    So I didn't found anything on the web to these issue. I remember a similar problem by the last security update too. So now I'm a little bit concerned regarding a virus or something else on my iMac.
    May anybody could help, please?
    Here my machine data:
    iMac May 2011, 3,1 GHz, Core 5, 12 GB RAM
    1 TB HDD w/ 3 Partitions (1x Mac, 1x Data, 1x BootCamp WIN 7)
    Free storage on Partition 1: 111 GB, 2: 133 GB, 3: ?
    Mac OS X 10.8.5
    Something missed?
    Kind regards

    Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
    Check firewall options in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.
