Set a default group and permissions on upload.

All I need is for any new files uploaded to the server's sharepoint be set to a certain default group with certain default permissions (admin, r/w). I can change files manually, but I don't want to have to be doing this every few hours.
I am familiar with the concept of permissions, but I have never been successful in finding anything that would set default permissions.

Ever used inherited permissions?
Files and folders can be made to inherit permissions from the folder you put them in...

10-local.rules not setting correct group and permissions

I have a custom rule for one of my removable storage devices. The rule sets the correct symlink, but it doesn't honour the mode and group settings. Here's the rule.
BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="IIT-22 ", KERNEL=="sd?1", MODE="0666", GROUP="datamode" SYMLINK="mymp3"
The group exists in /etc/group and the users who need access to the device are appropriately listed.
udev has always been mu Nemesis, and I'd love to get this sorted!
ls -l /dev/mymp3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-02-07 13:03 /dev/mymp3 -> sdb1
[hierro@el-diablo]#
]ls -l /dev/sdb1
brw-rw-rw- 1 root storage 8, 17 2010-02-07 13:03 /dev/sdb1
[hierro@el-diablo]#
Any advice?

Thanks for the reply. I always thought that the lower numbered rules too precedent..... I should read the wiki more. I'll try this when I get home.

Groups and permissions

I'm preparing a script where some local groups need to be created then domain groups added to them. Also it'll create some folder structure and assing my local groups with the right permissions. I thought that rather than hardcodding all that it would be
better to make it more general so if groups need to be changed or folder structure modified it can be easily done. Hence I decided to use it as a good opportunity to learn to work with functions to extend my beginner's PS skills.
I started with creating text files with what will be needed later. So I have folders.txt, LocalG.txt and DomainG_A.txt DomainG_B.txt all put in variables
$folders = Get-Content .\folders.txt
$LocalG = Get-Content .\LocalG.txt
$DomainG_A = Get-Content .\DomainG_A.txt
$DomainG_B = Get-Content .\DomainG_B.txt

Running the above Local groups get created and this is as far as it gets :)
When the script gets to AddTo_A_Group function it throws an exception calling Invoke with 2 arguments: Unknown name(0x80020006 (Disp_E_UNKNOWNNAME) on my $objGroupA.PSBase.Invoke('Add',$objGroup.PSBase.Path)
Some help would be much appreciated.

Yeah, PSBase is a sort of great unknown for me. I suppose I use [ADSI] as most of similar code (including your neat one-liner :) ) uses it presumably not to need to have connection with any DC.
After adding a couple of write-hosts here and there I'm seeing that although the group name $gr looks correct (here contoso.net/GroupA1) in the next line the $objGroup shows up as System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry and same for $objGroupA1
where I was expecting to see contoso.net/GroupA and contoso/Test Group A 1. $objGroup.Path doesn't show anything but $objGroup.PSBase.Path shows System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry again...

How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
Any thoughts or ideas?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
*}*

Setting the default group

Hello
maybe somebody can help , I have several groups loaded in the data portal, with different names from differents measurements, but all of them have the same channels, i mean the measurements were taken in different moments and under different circunstances but all of them measure the same properties, and I have to count the change in some channels in particular , in a loop over all the groups , I always get the result for the first group , i have used something like this:
for i=1 to groupcount
Call GroupDefaultSet(i)
msgbox(chnlength("Time")) 'time is the name of one channel in more than one group
next
and instead of getting , for example the length of all channels "time " i get the length of the channel "time" from the first gruop
Thanks for your help

Hi arkangel,
The GroupDefaultSet() command changes the default group, but that only affects ADDITIONS to the Data Portal after that point, such as new FormulaCalculation channels, excerpted section channels from VIEW, new ANALYSIS channels from an FFT calculation, etc.
If you want to reference channels of the same name from multiple groups, and you have DIAdem 9.x, you can use the [GroupName]/[ChannelName] adressing scheme to query off the "Time" channel from multiple groups. If you have DIAdem 9.1, then you can also use the [GroupIndex]/[ChannelName], [GroupName]/[ChannelIndex], or {GroupIndex]/[ChannelIndex] adressing options. For example:
For i = 1 TO GroupCount
ChNum = CNo("[" & i & "]/Time")
IF ChNum > 0 THEN Msg = Msg & "Group " & i & " --> " & ChnLength(ChNum) & vbCRLF
NEXT
MsgBox Msg
For DIAdem 8.x you will need to use the CNo() function's optional second parameter (ChannelNoStart) in order to ensure that you start at the next channel AFTER the one you just found. Channel numbers was all there was in DIAdem 8.x.

How do I set a default title and text style on Quick?

On Adobe Premiere Essentials 13 video editing, if I use Quick is it possible to set a default style for titles and text? I see instructions for setting a default style in Expert, but that doesn't seem to work in Quick. Thanks.

aperture14
What is this Premiere Elements Essentials 13? I know the program only as Adobe Premiere Elements 13 for Windows or Adobe Premiere Elements 13 for Mac. On what computer operating system is it running and is it a pre-installed program from the computer manufacturer?
So, if you have some modified version of Premiere Elements 13 Windows or Mac, I cannot give you a yes or no answer to
if I use Quick is it possible to set a default style for titles and text?
In Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Windows (assumed Mac also), there should be no problem in creating a text title in the Quick workspace and saving a particular text style and setting that created text style to the default. Are you OK with doing that in the Expert workspace if not the Quick workspace?
Please give us more details of your situation so that we can customize a reply for you.
Thank you.

OD Groups and Perms not updating?

I have a file server (to be used by about 60 people) that connects to an OD master for account info.
When changing a users group on the OD Master (which affects which shares are available), the change doesn't seem to propagate to the file server right away and can take a random amount of time to make it through.
Shouldn't this type of thing be instant, or is it just how it works?
Is there a way to force an update or to speed the update up? Sometimes it doesn't happen at all until i share or unshare something, which doesn't always work either.
I suppose I could set up a replica on the file server itself, but the apple manuals usually allude to specializing services to max out performance.

I suppose I could set up a replica on the file server itself, but the apple manuals usually allude to specializing services to max out performance.
That is because Apple wants to sell hardware. Realistically, an Xserve can handle the load of 60 concurrent AFP connections (not 60 network home folders). Running both AFP and OD on a single box is not going to kill it. There are many deployments that have one Xserve and they run 10 or more services on one box. Not everyone can afford separation of services.
Additionally, if you have an OD Master, you probably should be running an OD Replica. Just for the safety net that it provides. For example, having you users, groups, passwords, and policy automatically replicating is a nice warm and fuzzy. Plus, if you have a problem with the OD Master, you environment can still function.
That being said, configuring as connected to directory system is generally a good solution to avoid the extra services of directory services. Normally, this is a live lookup and no local storage is needed. Where are you not seeing the updates? In Server Admin when configuring permissions? What if you use dscl to browse the parent domain? Do you see the new groups, users, etc?
If this were a replica, the duration of time in which a sync occurs can be set. But in a connected to role, the lookups should be dynamic and this instant.
Hope this helps

Acrobat Properties - How can I set a default group of properties?

I have been unable to determine how to create a default set of properties. Every time I create a pdf, I have to go into the properties and set the document to open with a set of properties specific to my needs. It requires me to change the Description and all of the settings in Initial View and Security. Surely I can do this once and save it as a default. Can anyone advise?
Thanks in Advance,
Brad Brusenhan

Set the defaults in the printer properties. Not within a program as they only change for that use of the program, but in the properties of the printer (Start>Printers> right click on your printer and select properties). Some properties can be set in Distiller, but generally the printer properties overrides the choices in Distiller.
I am not sure if there is any other way to make the PDF Maker selections stick - they may be kept according to the preferences set within the application, but I am not sure (I don't use PDF Maker much).

How do i set a default group (not staff) for new files?

by default, new files created from within applications appear to be assigned group "staff", regardless of the folder in which they are being created.
i want new files to inherit the group of the folder in which they are being created. if i create a new file from the terminal command-line, this works. note that it also works when creating new folders from the finder and "save as" dialogue boxes.
how do i get this to work for new files saved from all applications?
thanks.

I usually use the .NET method myself, but if I were forced to poll I would do something like this. I use a variant to hold the list of filenames. I would only poll the folder info, when it has been modified then do the Folder List. Any new files are spotted when the variant attribute does not exist (Replace = FALSE), and this is added to the array.

User groups and permissions problem

Hello everyone,
I've been running Arch Linux for about a month now and I have noticed a few things related to permissions associated with user groups that annoy me. My user is part of the storage, wheel and network groups, amongst others. I can see this when I run the `groups` command. From what I could read on the Wiki, the storage group should allow me to mount/umount drives such as my USB key and my iPod when they are plugged in and access the files from my user account without using sudo. The network group should let me manage the network connection via ifconfig, iwconfig, etc. once again without using sudo.
However, when I run iwconfig as my normal user, I get incomplete and inaccurate information. I get about 2 lines telling me essentially that I am not associated with any Access Point, which I clearly am. When I run it with sudo, I get the full information, including my Access Point's ESSID. iwconfig does not get the same data when run with and without sudo. Same goes with ifconfig. Also, I can not run dhcpcd or wpa_supplicant at all as a normal user.
I get a similar problem with the storage group. I can not mount or umount drives without sudo and I can not write to mounted drives that I've mounted with sudo. This is particularly annoying when I try to manage my iPod.
Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this?
Thanks a lot

I have searched Google and the Arch Wiki, have tried a lot of the suggestions from the forums, such as the 'how I beat policykit and hal' forum post. Nothing seems to let me mount my drives. I can see them in Nautilus, I click them but they don't mount. I can do it as root. It's really frustrating because I can't figure it out. I haven't filed a bug report because I thought it was a problem that I was having.
I haven't tried the iwconfig or network yet.
This is pretty much the only thing holding me back from everything working.

Can I set a default font and font color for the text field properties?

I am setting up applications, some of the information I fill in prior to sending it to the client; I would like that text to always be in a specific font and color so it is clear to the client what information I filled in for them when they are reviewing the document.
Thank you

Not at this time, but I've asked the product team to consider adding it as a feature. Thanks for the suggestion.

My Canon Mark III is set to RAW files and they are uploading as jpgs.. Anyone know why? Im shooting in manual and uploading into iphoto..thanks!

I am setting my camera to RAW and its only loading Jpgs.. I am using a SD card.. coupld that be why? Shoudl I use CF card instead?

No - if you are shooting RAW then that is what is imported to iPhoto - when you import RAW iPhoto makes a JPEG preview of it for use by other programs
Why do you think iPhoto does nto have the RAW?

Org.clamav.freshclam and permissions error on freshclam.log

This is an adjunct to a branched discussion in this thread regarding org.clamav.freshclam continually generating error reports in the system log.
After enabling, but not starting, Mail service on my server (XServe Dual-G5, 10.5.8 Server) my system log began filling with the error as per the referenced thread. The first entry when the error cropped up was:

Nov 5 15:23:20 xserve1 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.clamav.freshclam): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Per the instructions in the referenced thread, I ran
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.clamav.freshclam.plist
I then used pico to edit the org.clamav.freshclamplist file, removing the space between the '-c' and value in the line:
<string>-c 4</string>
I also edited the /etc/freshclam.conf file to change the value:
#DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
to
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
I then ran
freshclam -v
followed by
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.clamav.freshclam.plist
Checking the log again, not only had the original error continued whilst I was editing, but also on the relaunch of freshclam a new error cropped up:

(Note: after the first 'Exited with exit code: 1' entry, it only repeated the last four lines as above as it respawned.)
Checking the ownership / permissions on the freshclam.log file showed that the owner/goup was _clamav:admin and the permisions were -rw-r----- which is proper and in line with the other clamav files in the directory. Thinking that perhaps the logfile was corrupted, I deleted it and made a new one, setting the owner, group and permissions as per the original. The log errors continued.
Finally, in desparation, I ran
chmod 660 /var/log/freshclam.log
setting the permissions to -rw-rw---- and the errors ceased!
Now, this is not proper file permissions nor does it explain why freshclam suddenly could not append the logfile, but freshclam is now happily churning away without generating continuous log error entries. For the moment, I am not going to argue with successful results!

Hi Fred,
interesting.. but I'm of the mind "If it ain't broke.." and it has been running without problem since applying the fix. I may end up having to migrate Mail services to a different server soon though, so I'll keep it in mind if the error crops up again. Thanks for the tip!
