Setting devfs sound permissions

(edited mar 3 2003 to fix my idiot typo) :oops
FYI for all those folks who seem to have a bit of problems using sound. Part of the trouble may be related to the devfs file system. I see where folks have used several methods to fix this but the secure & official method is as follows.
Create a group for sound access. It is not advised to use root for this for security reasons. In this method we use sndusers. GID shouldn't really matter. Add any users who need to access the sound devices to this group.
Edit the /etc/devfsd.conf file and add the following lines (remark optional.)
#give sndusers group access to sound devices
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.sndusers 0660
Now, when the system starts, or technically when the sound devices are registered by devfs, they will automatically be accessible only to root and those in the sndusers group as read/write.

Technically 'sound' does not equal 'soundcore'. You get 'soundcore' when the sound system is truly modular and you get 'sound' with the OSS general option. Apparently the AL kernel builds the base of the sound system into the kernel which is not a problem. And yes jon, I have both soundcore and sound but not with the default kernel. The simple sound setup I posted should work with a variety of kernel variations as it lets the kernel load what it requires. You only need to adjust things for the proper module name.
Have you verified that the arts package is installed for KDE sound? Also, have you used the KDE configuration system to verify the sound settings? One more, did you run the KDE mixer and adjust the values properly AND save the defaults AND leave the mixer in the 'systray' so it will start on next execution.
FWIW, I just put together an Athlon system with Arch on it. It has the via (Avance) audio system on the motherboard (not my choice.) Anyhow, it's set to boot the system directly into KDE for the user. The only sound configuration it has is the modules.conf info.
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
When KDE starts, it init's the sound system and the mixer sets the volume settings. It doesn't have a dvd but the cdrom plays pretty well.

Advise about setting up a permissons on Lion server for a small office.

What is the common wisdom and advise about setting up permissions optimally for a small office using OS X Lion Server as a file server? I thought I had this solved by setting the ACL permissions so that all users and appropriate groups can read and write all files on the server. This works great until a new file is created. Then it appears that the POSIX umask kicks in and takes priority over the ACL permissions. I need to allow group write permissions on all new files. My options seem to be:
Make everyone an admin - not great for obvious security reasons
Change the umask for the whole machine - also security problems, though perhaps fewer than the everyone-an-admin route above
Write a folder action applescript to add group write permission on all new files. This works fine if you have a static number of folders With new folders it has the problem: How do new folders created by non-admin users get this folder action automatically applied to them - some cronjob to hunt down the new folders; an applesscrpt folder action that adds a folder action to all new folders (sounds recursively complicated)?
Have a cron job regularly do something like `chmod -R 664` on all files. This will break during those between the cracks times between when someone creates a new file and when the cronjob runs - not ideal.
Seems like this should be easier which makes me think I'm missing something obvious.
Any help great appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Good-heart's advice is certainly your first step, but if you've already done that and still have the problem you've described, you might have the 10.7.3 ACL bug, particularly if your users and groups are in an OD or AD rather than being local accounts on the server. The problem is that ACL's for directory accounts are incorrectly ignored, resulting in POSIX permissions coming into play.
I've descibed my workaround for this here;

I haven't yet tried the other trick I've read about, which is to ensure your Share's data directories are at least one level down on the volume - there is a post here on the Communities that mentions this;

I seem to remember that this helped with an earlier version of AFP, if using external firewire or usb storage.
Let us know if you find a fix, it seems a number of people have problems with this.

How to set default file permissions for applicatio...

I have the nokia n86 and was wondering if there was any way of setting the file permissions of a program via the phone. To put it in context, i downloaded a program that edits photos but everytime i try to load a picture from my phone it asks me (for every single folder in my phone, not just the photo ones) if the program can open it. I can be there clicking yes all day as i there is a lot of folders and subfolders on the phone. I know sony ericssons had an option where you could select the programs permissions to always ask or never ask but i cant seem to find a similar option on the nokia.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same issue here. Everything I put on the drive is set to Read-only for the group.

Setting SharePoint folder permissions

Our school has just got SharePoint 2013, and I have been tasked with setting up a folder structure for the Teachers.
What they want is a Department Folder in the Root, and inside the Department Folder the Facility Folder, and inside that the Subject Folder, and lastly a private Teacher Folder for storing and preparing work.
EG:
Department/Science/Biology/MGreen
Department/Languages/French/RSmith
Department/Languages/Latin/TJones
I have setup the directory structure already, my question is how do make the Teacher Folder Private, so only they can view files inside?
Many thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to make the Teacher Folder with unique permissions so that only the specific teacher has permissions to it.
The following are the steps to set up unique permissions:
Navigate to the subfolder you want to configure with unique permissions.
On that subfolder, select Manage Permissions from the drop-list under that subfolder.
Under Permissions Tools, click: Stop Inheriting Permissions.
A dialog box that says, "You are about to create unique permissions for this folder. Changes made to the parent folder will no longer affect this folder." Click OK.
Then delete all SharePoint security groups. After that, assign permissions to the specific teacher.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Setting MS Access Permissions

I have a MS Access 2013 web app hosted on the Microsoft Office Sharepoint 2013 site. I want the team members to be able to add/modify/delete only within the web forms. How do I set permissions so that other team members cannot delete or update
the actual application and the application data outside of the web form? What permissions should I use? I tried to create a new group with custom permissions, for example group "XYZ". When I tried to add permissions to group "XYZ",
I was not given a choice of using the custom permissions that I set up.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set Microsoft Access Permissions.
If you already created an app and now you've decided you want your app to have unique permissions from the site where you created it, see Set
permissions for an Access app on Office.com.

How to set different sounds for different events?

Hello I had Xiaomi Mi2s before and I could set different sound for every email account I had, for sms, for facebook and so on. How do I do it on my Xperia? Of course that for example SMS is more important then some facebook comment, so I would like to hear what happened because not every time I want to reach my phone.

Open each app > menu > settings > notification sound > change the sound > done > repeat as needed

Correct syntax to set "send as" permissions through Powershell

Hello,
A colleague of mine gave me a Powershell command to set "send as" permissions on a mailbox. His syntax is the following:
Add-ADPermission -Identity UserBeingGrantedPermission -User UserWhoseMailboxIsBeingConfigured -ExtendedRights 'Send-As'
In that example the user mentioned after "-User" is the one who's mailbox is being configured. Easy enough. Earlier Technet articles also use this syntax.
However, I stumbled across the
following article. Which clearly says:
This example grants Send As permissions for Aaron Painter to Terry Adams's mailbox.
Add-ADPermission -Identity "Terry Adams" -User AaronPainter -AccessRights ExtendedRight -ExtendedRights "Send As"
In this example "-User" is not the one mailbox that is being configured but the person that gets the rights.
So who is right? Technet or Technet?

Hi Fr0ns,
Your colleague mistook it a little bit, (and I don't think he can compete with the Technet library :)
-User <is always someone who is given permissions to>. In the Technet example - AaronPainter gets the permission to
Send As Terry Adams.
You can check it yourself pretty easily - enable command logging and attempt to assign the permissions with GUI where you clearly know who gets what.

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts?

Can you set different sounds for different incoming email accounts? Example, I have multiple email accounts on Mail. I would like the sound for my roadrunner account to be different from my .mac and personal website accounts. Is it possible to configure this or is there a script out there that someone knows about.
Thanks

You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
[Account] [AccountName]
Perform the following actions:
[Play Sound] [Sound]
Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

Setting CUIC user permissions for all reports at once

Hi all,
We are using CUIC 8.0(4) Standard Edition and trying to set CUIC user permissions, such as Read, Exec and Write, for reports.
If we need to give access to all reports then we should set permissions for each report separately.
Is there any way to set those permissions for all reports at once?
We attempted to set Read, Exec and Write premissions for the Reports, Stock and UCCE folders but no luck.
Thanks.
