Strange Sharing and Permissions and Admin Users question.

I am having problems printing and need to change the permissions and ownership on a library file
My directions were to:
[ The fiery cups filter needs ownership changed from admin to system (root) ]
My secondary question is I am making the assumption that when someone refers to my "system (root)" that this is the same as "my name (me)" Yes?
But my primary mystery question is
As I went to change the permissions on the above top topic I noticed I had four choices.
I am the only single user of this computer. My permissions are set to Administrator status.
I apparently had a guest account enabled but I don't remember turning this on.
On the get info window, at the bottom, under sharing and permissions, NAME and PRIVILEGE when I add - select a new user or group, I have:
My account "my name (me)"
"administrators"
and *"firebird database"?*
"everyone" is already there as a standard default.
*I don't know what the **** "firebird database" is. It shows as a single user account.* My guest settings were enabled to connect to my shared folders, which I have turned off. Is this "firebird" part of Apple code or has something been compromised without me knowing?
Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Root or System ownership is not the same as you. You are a restricted user. Root is an unrestricted user.
If you have installed third-party printing software with incorrect permissions, then start by using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Do not begin changing file/folder permissions when you obviously do not know what you are doing as this could screw up your entire system.
Firebird is a third-party database program that you must have installed. Obviously there is a problem with it. Either uninstall it or contact the developer for assistance.

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

  • Deferent between oem user and admin user

    Hi,
    For the SL500 robot,
    Does any body knows the deferent between oem user and admin user?
    does one of them has privileges on the other?
    Yigal

    Dear all,
    Thanks a lot for all of you.
    I have already set local user and domain user in "Logon as a batch job" security policy on my PC. So I can do jobs well if I set logon user that is a any local user in my PC. I can't do a job if I set logon user that is a domain user. So I don't know what it wrong?
    Should I add domain user in "Logon as a batch job" security policy on AD Server not in local PC's "Logon as a batch job" security policy?
    I don't have privilege to change policy on AD Server. And I have to make sure it will work if add my domain user in "Logon as a batch job" security policy on AD Server. So should I add policy on AD Server or just add in local PC.
    Any idea?
    Thanks and regards.

  • Sharing and Permissions for Admin Users Home Folder

    Staff user group deleted from Admin User home folder.  User groups listed are the user as read/write, admin as read and everyone as read.  If you create a new Admin user the group "staff" is listed instead of "admin"????  How do i get it back to how it was?  It also seems to be effecting stored passwords in my keychain and other apps.

    Hi, i think it depends who are you serving for, if you are just serving for a small office or home server or a big organization. The following quick thinking just came to me:
    I think cups set automatically a system  user of its own, and runs as it, so no trouble there. Cups also has the option to set users and it uses the system users as default, i think it depends in in how many printers/users your have in your server.Users that can manage cups are in the lp group. 
    For nfs every user should have their home, samba is also a good option if you have  windows computer in your network and it integrates better with graphical file  managers like nautilus in the clients side, but it is a hassle to configure.
    You should run the web server (owncloud ) as it own user, maybe you can manage to set something up for owncloud in the filesystem, but owncloud uses a database, and the users for owncloud are stored in there, and they are not system users.
    You can configure ssh for local use only enabling the corresponding subnets in your /etc/sshd.conf and optionally but recommended you can set a firewall and permissions. You can use iptables but i prefer ufw for simple setup.
    I think you should read the wiki:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_groups
    and the other respective topics in the wiki.
    Also as an advice i know that arch linux is a great distribution, but you have to do more work to mantain a stable server. I would recommend debian or another more conservative distro, but of course it is your choice.

  • I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac.  I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
    Is the permissions set to anyone?
    When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
    If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
    You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

  • Acrobat 9 pro and Admin user/password

    Every time Acrobat 9 pro on my Mac (OSX 10.6.1) is launched it sakes for my admin user/password. If I enter the info in every time I launch Acrobat 9 pro admin it works, but the next time I login with my network user account Acrobat 9 pro want the admin user/password again.  What might be causing Acrobat 9 pro to want admin user/password.

    If, as it it says on top of the page, the question is "possibly answered", the "1 correct answer" is not shown.  The mystery and annoyance remains.
    Acrobat 9 Pro (installed as part of CS4 Design Standard by the same admin user that now wants to use it, OSX 6.7) asks for my password every time I start it:  "Type your password to allow Adobe Acrobat Pro to make changes."  The only necessary change that I see is upgrading back to version 8, which didn't suffer from this bug.
    When I click cancel (twice – the window returns once.), I'm told that "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly.  An invalid password or user name was entered.  Adobe Acrobat will now quit."
    To repeat it, Acrobat is already installed, and I've entered the username-password combination several times correctly to use the software, but it's not acceptable to do that every time in all eternity.  Please, Adobe, fix this quickly or give solution if one exists.

  • Disk sharing and multiple users...

    Hi,
    I've my hard-drive connected to my Airport Extreme base station, to which I access from a Snow Leopard. The connection works properly and I can access the disk. Happily.
    I have two users (let's say "toto" and "tata") on my Snow Leopard who I want to have full access to the drive. It is possible, but I have to mount the disk twice (once per users). The mounting points are created in this order:
    - /Volume/Disk
    - /Volume/Disk-1
    The access rights for both are 700 which means that one user can not access to the mounted point of the other. Furthermore, the mounted points are decided in the order the disk are mounted, which means we never know whose are "Disk" or "Disk-1".
    This situation is very problematic with software like iTunes, which can not find its files if the mount point is not the expected one.
    The workaround I have found is to allow full access (777) to guest users on my disk (and filter MAC addresses on the station), but this only allows "tata" to access to the mounting point of "toto" ("tata" would mount the Drive at "/Volumes/Disk-1" anyway).
    Regarding this issue, I have two questions:
    - is it possible to make MacOSX mount the disk with 770 permissions ?
    - is it possible to force both accounts to use the same mount point "/Volume/Disk" ?
    Thank you !!

    Greetings,
    TimeMachine will therefore backup the whole sparseimage
    Correct you are. Thats the character of disk images. They are one "document" that contains many items. TimeMachine does not see inside the image so it has to backup the entire file.
    So does anyone have a good idea for a solution?
    Stop using the sparseimage.
    Put your iTunes library and iPhoto library an external drive as that sharing article suggests (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198). Then use a second hard drive to backup both your computer and your 1st hard drive. Not only will you be able to access this iTunes library and iPhoto library from other user accounts but you can free up hard drive space on your system. Downside is you must have the 1st hard drive plugged into your system to access iTunes / iPhoto.

  • Screen sharing and multiple users

    I have an iMac at home that is used by multiple family members. I have multiple logins enable so it is common to have 2-3 accounts logged in at once. I would like to use screen sharing to connect to my account even when one of the kids is logged into their account.
    I started by looking at the vnc processes. There is one process that run as root:
    root 21792 0.0 0.0 2437128 1736 ?? Ss 12:25PM 0:00.02 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/RFBRegisterMDNS
    Then there is another process for each person logged in:
    username 22006 0.0 0.3 2734876 13964 ?? S 12:33PM 0:00.29 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Ma cOS/AppleVNCServer
    So I have two questions. One is how can there be three processes running that listen on the same 5900 port at the same time and how does it decide which one to connect a vnc client to? My second question is how can I prevent the AppleVNCServer process from starting for each user. I've tried killing those processes but they respawn immediately.

    Hi
    Thank you for your answer. Sorry to have been unclear - I'll give it another go :o)
    Here is what I am trying to do:
    I have 2 users (Plex and Ursus) that I want to have logged on at the same time. Plex will be "in the front" i.e. that is the screen that is seen if you are at the mini. Ursus is a user that is logged on but you cannot currently see (i.e. in the back as it where). I would like to work using the user Ursus (to, for example, rip a movie from a DVD (that I own of course :o).
    Using file sharing would mean that I have 2 machines running and that I need to copy all the files from the one machine to the other, not exactly what I want but manageable.
    I have managed to get this "partly" working - I am using Vine Server for Mac (http://www.testplant.com/products/vineserver/OSX) which allows me to start a VNC server on e.g. port 5901 and then screen share to that session. If I setup the second user (Ursus in this case) to use this server then I can connect to the "back" user. The only problem being that Vine Server seems to crash with Plex - as soon as I start it Plex just hangs and randomly crashes!
    Was that clearer?
    Thanks again

  • Cisco ISE and Admin CLI question

    Hi there. 
    I have strange problem with my ISE installation. First of all I use AD users for authentication. It works fine over HTTPS. I can login with my AD admin by HTTPS.
    The problem starts when I try to login via CLI (SSH). I got login prompt. When I type my AD credentials it says "Login Incorrect" and I got the same result if I try with the local admin account.
    I did try to reset the local admin account password via HTTPS to verify that type the correct password. But no effect.  
    My ISE is installed on VMware. 
    Any experiences with this one?
    BR.

    The CLI authentication which is the base Linux OS is not/cannot be tied to AD for admin authentication. You only integrate the application installed on the top of Linux, which in this case is ISE, to AD. So to login to the cli shell you will need to use the username/password that you configured during setup. If you don't recall those you will need to perform a password rest via the installation CD/ISO
    Thank you for rating helpful posts!

  • Home Sharing and multiple Users

    We have one Mac with one user (me) and another Mac with two other users. If we have Home Sharing turned on for all three users, should each user be able to see the other two iTunes libraries, or will only the currently logged in user on the 2-user computer be available? Example: If User 1 is logged in, can they get User 2's library, and can I get both User 1's and User 2's libraries from the other computer?
    And does iTunes have to be launched on a given computer for its library to show up on another computer, or will my iTunes find the library where it resides on the other computer even if their iTunes is not on?

    It is not really practical for multiple users on different PCs to use the same library database. This is because the iTunes database is not multiuser, the can however share the same content files.
    So each PC will need it's own library database (iTunes Library.itl) which in this case is best located on the users own PC.
    Utilities such as Tune ranger can keep libraries in sync:

  • Sceen Sharing and Software Update Questions

    Hello, I have two questions:
    1. When I use screen sharing through Back to my Mac, I'm having an issue with SS working with 2 monitors. When first starting up, SS show both monitors side by side. That works correctly. When I choose Monitor 1, for example, it shows Monitor 1 perfectly 1. The problem starts when I choose monitor 2. When I select it from the drop box, I have to click the screen for it to actually show the second screens monitor. Additionally, it will only show the active screen for monitor to. There is a "shadow" that is around the programs and I have to click around to make it work. Anyone else have this issue? Anything I can do?
    2. Pretty simple issue with software update. Software update is asking me to install HP printer drivers. I do have two HP printers connected through the network. I don't want to install the drivers on my Mac. I keep unchecking the box, but it keeps showing up when I run software update. Is there a way to stop it from showing entirely?
    Thanks!

    I can help you with the second one.
    Select the update you don't want to be reminded of, and then in the Software Update; Update menu bar, select *Ignore Update.* You can also get it to show again in the future if you want.

  • Screen sharing and AIM account question

    In the Apple docs it says:
    "You can share screens using AIM (including me.com and Mac.com), Jabber, Google Talk, and Bonjour. You can’t share screens using iMessage or Yahoo!."
    I know I can simply create a free AOL/AIM account for this. But how does one get a me.com or mac.com address? Are those old, no-longer-available services?
    What do most people use for screen sharing. I've been using my AIM account, but was unable to get it to work yesterday with some people who created new AOL accounts for this purpose, even though I see them online. They don't get my requests, except for one person. And even if she accepts the request we don't get connected. And we can't video chat either.
    Thanks,

If so i will exchange it for a gigabyte board i thing cause there reliable and ive had exprence using them.
    My other question is i have the amd athlon 2500+xp and i was wondering of the 3200 would work fine on tm K7N2 DELTA - ILSR with the nforce 2 chipset
    other than thoes problems the board is great and plays all my games very smoothly.
    i also have another question is my Geforce fx 5600 worth keeping or should i upgrade to the 9800 pro or wait for the x 800xt to come down in price?
    thx.

    a delta can take up to xp3200
    but you would be better of with an xp2500 and overclock it instead.
    k7n2 has noise sensitive usb ports.
    do you have an usb2 hub you can connect to the motherboard and then connect the usb devices to that one and try ?
    seen many cases where this worked.
    did you read the moan guide ?
    its very hard to do something without a complete picture of what you got.
    i have seen people having trouble with usb devices for many different reasons.
    how strong is the psu ?
    i want the amps not the watt as they can show VERY wrong.
    is written on a label on the psu. 3.3v 5v and 12v.
    have you tried http://www.memtest86.com to check memory ?
    k7n2 is memory sensitive.
    is usb2 enabled in bios or only 1.1 ?
    k7n2 is a very sensitive motherboard but when you get it to work it works like a dream.
    mine has been up and running 24/7 since i bought it last year and most crashes i have is when i try to run 10 year old dos games which xp dont like.

  • J2ee Admin User locked on SDM Deployment - BI 7.0 and EP 7.0

    Hi,
    We had a recent issue on BI iview publishing from the BEX WAD 7.0 in our Production Portal server.
    The BEX WAD had the error " Java communication error"
    " An Error occured during communication with the BI Components of the J2ee engine"
    We traced down to identify that the current stack NW 7.0 SP14 BI Components had issues and had to patch to the next level
    However, during deployment of the patch using SDM, the components (all) failed posting the following error. The SDM deployment got struck and the J2ee Engine user j2ee_admin was locked.
    Only a restart of the j2ee engine is allowing us to get the Visual Admin connected. But the SDM deployment again is failing and admin user gets locked. Is there any tested solution to solve this.
    Kindly help asap.

  • How to set password complexity and expiration for ClearPass admin users

    Requirement:
    As a server admin, i wish to set complexity for my ClearPass admin (management login) password and also as per company policy wish to set password expiration. This document explains how it can be achieved.
    Solution:
    From ClearPass 6.5.0 a new Password Policy Settings form was added for both local users and admin users.
    Configuration:
    To use this option, go to either Administration > Users and Privileges > Admin Users > Password Policy or Configuration > Identity > Local Users > Password Policy. Options that can be configured for the password include length, complexity, disallowed characters, disallowed words, disallowed user ID or repeated characters, and the number of days to expiration.
    Admin User
    Local User
    Verification
    In Password Policy updated the password complexity as following (atleast one uppercase and one lowercase letter and 3 as disallowed character). Also set the Password expiration to 5 days.
    After that tried to reset the admin password with character 3 and got an error as following

    Please follow below steps:-
    This is available starting in RUP4.
    The script to expire all passwords in the fnd_user table is $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/AFCPEXPIRE.sql.
    It can be executed from SQL*Plus or as a Concurrent Program: sqlplus -s APPS/ @AFCPEXPIRE.sql
    or Submit concurrent request: CP SQL*Plus Expire FND_USER Passwords
    This script sets the fnd_user.password_date to null for all users which causes all user passwords to expire.The user will need to create a new password upon the next login.
    Thanks,
    JD
