Sending a unix command but can't authenticate

I'm using ARD to manage a lab and sending an rm command via ARD to delete a particular file in the student account's library. The command is sent fine and then a box comes up asking me to enter the password to complete the task.
The problem is there is no cursor in the box and no matter where I click, I can't enter the password at all.
Has this happened to anyone else?

It's actually labeled "Run command as..." I was in a hurry and mislabeled the command in my previous post. You'll find more information on the "Send UNIX Command" option on page 145 of the ARD 3 Administrator's Guide.
Regards.

Send a Unix command through ARD that will change a OS X admin user to a standard user.

I would love to send a Unix command through ARD that will change a OS X admin user to a standard user. The only thing I found close is
sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership USERNAME
which does remove the user from the list of admins, but they are still listed as an admin in the user preference panel, and can still use their account to authenticate for admin privileges.

I'm not having any problems adding or removing users from the 'admin' group by using the syntax's
dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername
or
dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername
What I'm saying is if a user is ticked as an Adminstrator in System Preferences and I run the
dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername syntax and remove them from the 'admin' GroupMembership they still have the Administrator box ticked in System Prefs and can administer the machine.
By the way the '/' doesn't work in the syntax in ARD.
Thanks

recently changed ISP, now cannot send emails on iPad but can receive them

Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld. As soon as I get home and connect to wi-fi the mail sends no problem

We use ntlworld as our home broadband provider and main email address. In my experience ntl doesn't usually allow sending of email except on its own network which is why yours works at home. My iPhone is set up to send my ntl email using my second email account's smtp setting (in my case is is a mac.com account and I haven't found any network this doesn't work on to send email).
So my advice is to get yourself another email account with a different provider like yahoo or google, then use the new provider smtp address to send your ntl email on your iPhone.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

Sending the UNIX command to install updates over Remote Desktop returns No Updates Available, but they appear when I manually check in the App Store. Why?

We use profile manager to set the URL for the Software Updates on a server inhouse, and the clients see the updates when I open the app store on their iMac, but when I try to send the update command to all Macs through Remote Desktop, RD is returning that there are no updates available.
And here's a log message:
Mar 20 09:45:17 Alisas-iMac kernel[0]: BUG in process suhelperd[261]: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external)
Mar 20 09:45:17 --- last message repeated 11 times ---
Why does this happen? Do we really have to manually update each client or is there something wrong?

I can send multiline interface commands but not data commands

hi
i am using a gpib controller.I cannot seem to find a way to switch between multiline commads and data commands.the key is the ATN bit as to send a DAB command the atn bit must be low. I cannot make the controller distinguish when a command is a adta command and not a multiline command,

sorry bit i did not know i could answer you directly.
i am using the measurement computing gpib controller cb7210.2 which is nearly ni compatabile.i am interfacing it with a microcontroller connected to the pc.Then i am trying to use a monitor program that is embedded in the microcontroller to perform remote access of instruments.i am using assembly. i have managed to communicate with the instrument.now the problem is that i cannot make the distinction between data commands and interface commands.for eg if i send 3Fh and atn happens to be 1 this is interpreted as UNL if atn is 0 then it is interpreted as data command.i need to be able to have control of the atn bit so that i can send either at will. so to problem is how to control the atn bit.
thanks
again

Cannot send mails via IMAP but can receive mails

HI All
Having Exchange 2010 SP2 on standalone box on W2K8R2-std sp1
We enabled IMAP and POP3 for our user base who do not have Outlook or are facing issues with active sync.
mailbox gets configured however none of mails are sent via IMAP they remain stuck in user outbox only.
They can receive mails but can't send. we tried configuring same users on Outlook and activesync and it worked.
We were surprised with some mis-configuration at IMAP end but could't get to root of it. Any idea what could be an issue????
for imap testing we tried Zimbra 7.2.3 on windows 7 pro, Windows Mail app in windows 8.1. IMAP in windows phone 8
Have enabled IMAP and pop3 logging but couldn't interpret it.
Cheers VP

Hi vp89,
Based on my knowledge, POP3 and IMAP cannot be used to send messages.
E-mail applications that use POP3 and IMAP4 to send messages rely on the SMTP protocol to send messages.
The connector for receiving e-mail submissions from client applications that use POP3 or IMAP4 is created automatically on every Hub Transport server.
We need a Send Connector.
More details in the following articles:

Hope it is helpful

Software Update via Unix command but get updates from my OS X server?

I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
now, I would like to run a unix command via ARD that would run software update against the local server. Does anyone know the correct syntax for this? Running softwareupdate -l -a does not work. Thanks

I'm also in the process of getting my Xserve setup as an internal software update server. I haven't gotten to the point of testing this yet, but I was under the impression that once the clients were managed, any software update command would force the clients to retrieve their updates from your internal server as specified in the MCX settings.
I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
When you say that currently when you run software update from he client it connects to the server and downloads updates, are you referring to running the graphical Software Update tool?

I,am unable to sent photos in messages but can receive them. Help

The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others. Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM. The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless. Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

Not receiving emails, but can send them on desktop; but can do both on iPhone.

Ok, I have spent since a day or so since the first of this month trying to solve this issue. I use Hostgator, which shouldn't be an issue, but it seems to be. I have on my phone all my emails that are being hosted by hostgator set up as fetch, and it recieves my emails fine. My desktop though, can't. It can see the servers, and send emails, but it can't do anything but. It can't even download the emails I sent to myself, but when I go on web mail I can see them all.
My connection to the server is good:
But for some reason I can't recieve any emails from the IMAP server.
I put the computer is Safe Mode, and I could recieve the emails, but when I put it in normal mode, the emails don't download. I use Avast! Anti-Virus, I use SugarSync, I use Splashtop, And Free Memory Pro.
For web browsers, I use Crome, and Safari.
I use Apple Mail and Postbox, both can't recieve emails.
I can't imagine what is keeping my computer from downloading from the server.
Can someone help please?

I have not seen that review before and the only thing I take issue with is
the authors of Clam AV for Mac, apparently do not understand these concepts. Both the admin and limited user can only scan files w/in "<user name>/documents". 99% of the files on a Mac are outside of "/users/<admin>,<other user>/documents. What good is a antivirus scan, that has no access?
There is only one author and I can assure you that he fully understands the permission issues involved. He is committed to follow Apple security guidelines in this matter which say that even an admin user should not be able to see files and folders belonging to other users without their explicit permission. I realize that there is a lot of software that ignore this rule, including virtually all other A-V software vendors, but I don't think he will ever budge on that subject. I'm sure this same limitation applies to any other A-V software downloaded from the AppStore.
ClamXav will scan any file or folder that the current user has read access to. For an admin user this is by far the majority of the files on the hard drive, not the 1% indicated by the reviewer. For a limited user, that would be reduced to only files that are owned by that user and any other files readable by "everybody".
I realize that it has widely been suggested that users not routinely operate with admin rights, but I'm guessing the number of users that are actually practicing that are minimal. Novice users won't see that guidance and most of those that do won't be able to figure out how to accomplish that. Experienced users may give it a try, but quickly get tired of switching back and forth to do their admin duties. To me one of those admin duties would be to run ClamXav periodically to pick up anything that may have slipped by, especially when there is more than one user using the computer. Each of those other users should also be using ClamXav to inspect their own files. Of course a limited use user can use an admin userid and password if they know it to do installations, etc., so it is possible to slip something by.
In the case of the web site version of ClamXav, a limited user can run Sentry to watch all of the entry points to the computer, including the download folder, e-mail and any external drives he has access to. That should detect any currently known malware, including Windows, before it becomes an issue.
Lastly, as far as I have been able to determine, all the ClamAV® signatures are for malware that would be readable to an admin user and most by a limited use user. It would be a waste of time to look into the unreadable portions of the System (mostly the Unix sub-system) since there is no currently known malware that would exist there.
What bothers me is that it won't look at files beyond ownership? I know it sounds odd, but I do deal with some form of internet esponage at times due to the type of company I am working on building.
Again, you will be able to examine any files readable by you, any group you belong to or "everybody" as long as they are enclosed in a directory (folder) that you can access. Here's an example of a full hard drive scan I did just the other day as a test:
Scanned directories: 192387
Scanned files: 914610
Total errors: 692
The "errors" are almost certainly files I did not have read access to as an admin so I was able to scan 99.9% of the files I had access to.
Disk Utility tells me I have 1,150,506 files at the moment, so I scanned about 79.5% of them.

Can't send email from iBook but can from iMac

I have a iMac hardwired to the Internet with Leopard. I also have a Powerbook with Leopard and a iBook with the previous operating system. My hardwired iMac is the only computer that can send email through the my smtp server for work. It is offsite and not supported by me.
I have changed all port settings on the two laptops but no success. I have even synced all of the accounts through .Mac and only the hardwired iMac can send emails. They all are able to received emails.
I am able to select a new smtp server when the Mail program on the laptops tell me it has not been able to connect. I can then send the messages out through gmail, but they come from my Gmail account. This is no good when I am trying to conduct business.
I have also hardwired my iBook to the same network my iMac is connected too (same wire) and the iBook still cannot connect to the selected smtp server (I did turn the airport off).
Any one got any ideas or thoughts?? Can I create a SMTP server on these laptops some how? I was beginning to think it was an Airport communication issue, but after hardwiring the ibook and it still did not work, I am at a loss.

Hi Shane.
I'm so sorry, the administrator in my company didn't provide enough information for me.
Actually, when I sent email to ***@gmail.com, there was a notification sent to me by the system. The error notification is :
