User not listed  in sudoers file OSX Mavericks

When attempting to backup the hosts file (or any other command in Terminal), this message appears after entering the password.
“[username] is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.”
The username is in fact listed as an admin account in the Users and Groups system prefs, and does have what appears to be a valid password associated with it.  There are no other users enabled to use the computer.
One thing that seems odd in the Terminal window is that the username is shown as all lower case, while the actual name of the computer in the Users and Groups panel starts with an upper case character.
And exactly how is the incident reported?
Any help would  be greatly appreciated.

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, go to the Bug Reporter page, login with your AppleID (or get one if you don't have one), and  file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.
Alternatively, File a bug report with Apple., but that usually goes through support and marketing, although when it'll get to engineering is anyone's guess.

  • FileSelectPopup in LW/CVI not listing all directories/files in linux.

    This is concerning a port of Windows based software to Linux.  The FileSelectPopup dialog does not list all the files and folders in the current directory.  For example, if I look in /home/pshrewsberry I can see everything but when look in /home I cannot see pshrewsberry!  Another example: If I am in a directory "test" which contains directories A,B,C and D only B and D are listed. The same happens with files as well: In the FileDialogTest directory that I have attached to this post when I browse this directory using FileSelectPopup I can't see the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory (created after building) nor can I see the binary "FileDialogTest".
    This problem does not happen in all directories that I browse through either.  I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it.  File permissions on all files in FileDialogTest (for example) are the same and UID and GID are same as well but the FileDialogTest binary and the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory are not listed.  If I run as root I get the same results.
    I have tested this in Linux with LW/CVI8 and the LW/CVI 2010 beta and I get the same erroneous results with both.
    Could this be a bug in LW/CVI for linux?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure how to track a corrective action request.
    What is the timeframe for this to make it into a beta or a distro.  I just went throught this before concerning another problem that I found.  We ultimately received an updated shared object file (*.so) to fix the issue before the ultimate release of fix in beta.  That resolution is preferable for this issue as opposed to waiting for the next official update.

  • Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

    but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
    Instead they are greyed out now.

    If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
    So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

  • InDesign CS6 file not opening...running OSX Mavericks

    Hi there, for some reason I am unable to open InDesign CS6 files.  I've restarted Creative Cloud, my computer, nothing.  I get a prompt saying that some files need to be relinked, which I've had before but then it opens fine.  I can't even open a new document.  This is a new issue since OSX Mavericks update....any thoughts?

    I'm a Windows user, but I can tell you that there are thousands of Mac users with CS6, and a god number of them use the new Mavericks without a problem, so it's more likely to be something specific to your system.
    I can also tell you that upgrading an OS can be a crapshoot and it's usually better to do a clean install, but I can't promise that wiping your system and rebuilding will solve the problem if it's some sort of conflict with third-party software.

  • User not listed ... WLS 8.1 SP4

    I created a new user "hebu" but the user is not listed,
    if I use a filter, then the user is listed, e.g.
    User Description Provider
    weblogic The default administration user DefaultAuthenticator
    Filter By: h*
    User Description Provider
    hebu CIA Super User DefaultAuthenticator

    Just as a check, I moved the JAR files to a common lib directory on the server and added them to the system classpath specified in startWeblogic.cmd, and the application starts fine.
    Maybe not related, but yesterday I was tried deploying an EJB that was dependent on a JAR file NOT included within its JAR file, but specified with the Class-path entry in the manifest.
    The behaviour I saw was WLS swallowed the ClassNotFoundException silently, the admin console reported that the EJB was deployed successfully but inside the ejbCreate method - I had two print line statements, one prior to calling the missing class, and one after. Only the one prior appeared on the system console, suggesting that the ejbCreate method wasn't completing, yet no exception is thrown ?

  • HT202159 itunes will not update properly on mac osx maverick

    i have osx maverick and my itunes now won't open - it says it can't open while it is being updated but in the app store it shows as "calculating" and won't update, it's been doing this for about a week. i can't seem to cancel or resume, nothing. itunes support was no help. i have signed out and signed back in, nothing is working to make this installation and update happen. anyone know what to do?

    I am curious, do you have any other computer user accounts on your system? And if so, is iTunes open inside any of the other accounts?

  • Role and User not listed

    Previously I had created a role and added a user. The user
    waited several weeks to try to login and now is receiving a message
    that his role is no longer valid. When I login to administer the
    site his role is not listed and when I re-created the role I can't
    add him because his name is 'grayed' out and indicates that he is
    currently assigned to the previous role.
    Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?

    When selecting "Database", a Planning Create will create (or recreate) the Planning application in Essbase. This will erase any Planing supporting detail, account annotations, etc. It will also (IIRC) blow away the Essbase database.
    A Planning database refresh updates Essbase with metadata changes (if any).
    You know, I've never tried doing a Create->Security Filters.
    Now if you mean Administration->Manage Security Filters->Create -- that will just update the filters with whatever the latest and greatest dimensional security is. If you selected all of the filters, it is as if you did a Administration->Manage Database->Security Filters. The idea being you might want to target it if you have many users/large filters.
    I think the first time that user logs in you will see the username in the Administration->Manage Security Filters list.
    Going backwards, re your first question -- provision the username in SS with access to the Planning app (however you do that, groups, individually, etc.), and give him Essbase server access. Have him log in. All should be good to go.

  • Import users from BIAR file -- users not listed in import screen of Wizard

    Hi,
    we try to import users from a BO XI R2 SP4 running on Windows to our BO XI R2 SP4 running on Linux (both use Oracle database).
    When I try to import users with the Import Wizard, I can't see the list of users so at the end of the import  and show in the log --> 0 user simported.
    I have activate the trace on Wizard import but don't see errors in the log files.
    Also I open the file with a ZIP tool and I can see that it contains data.
    So why this ?
    regards,

    Hi,
    thnaks for the info.
    It is what we do, we use directlty the user:  Adminsitrator.
    I have also set the -trace parameter on the Wizard import but nothing special in the trace about any errors or warnings. (nothing).

  • File Sharing (Read & Write) with a Network User - "Network User" Not Listed

    My boyfriend and I both have Macs, running 10.6.3. Both Macs are connected to the internet via Apple Wireless Express. I have a MacBook Pro, and my boyfriend has an iMac with a big fancy screen, so I like to use for my own work when I'm at home and he isn't - it's just easier and more comfortable to use than a laptop.
    I would like to find a way to use his computer to access a shared folder on my laptop with read & write access (so that I can modify the files on my laptop while using his computer). I have gotten to the point where I have a folder on my laptop with the files I want shared with his computer, and can access this folder from his computer. However, doing it this way (accessing my files on my laptop from his computer) only allows read-only access. I would like to be able to edit the files that are on my laptop using his computer, so I think I would need read and write access.
    It seems the easiest way to do this would be to add a user (the boyfriend) on my laptop and give him read/write access to this specific folder that is located on my laptop. I found instructions on how to do this, and it says that I need to add a "network user". These instructions seem to indicate that when I add a user, there should be options for accounts on my laptop, my personal address book, a new account on my laptop, and network users. I see the first 3 options...but no option to add a network user.
    Why is that? How would I make it so that from my laptop, I can add a network user...specifically my boyfriend's computer, who also uses the same internet network that I use?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    Also found this behavior:
    While logged into the Mac Pro as MPUser1, I connect to the MacBook Pro file sharing as MBPUser1.
    Then I "disconnect".
    Then I log out of the Mac Pro MPUser1, and login as MPUser2.
    The connection to MBP as MBPUser1 is still active!
    This means that MPUser2 can access whatever MBPUser1 can access WITHOUT knowing MBPUser1's login password !
    This seems WRONG! Anybody else seen this?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro does not list MS Office files as supported files

    I've tried this on 4 different computers. All computers are running Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007. 2 of the computers are running Acrobat 9 Pro and 2 of the computers are running Acrobat 9 Standard. On two of the computers, one Pro and one Standard, if I try to combine files into a single PDF, it lists all MS Office documents as supported files. I can use Excel or Word to create the PDF. However, on the other two computers, again one Pro and one Standard, no MS Office files show up when I try to combine files into a single PDF. How can I fix this? I can Print to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer from Excel and Word on all 4 of the computers. And I've verified that the Acrobat COM Add-in is enabled and working properly. I've tried this on Acrobat 9.0 all the way up to Acrobat 9.5 with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok, I now got to version 9.3.1
    But the procedure was some kind of weird:
    (I don't know if this is working everytime)
    1.) Deactivating Antivirus and firewall
    2.) Logging in as Administrator: Starting the manual update -> Known Error
    3.) Restarting computer
    4.) Logging in as User (with Admin-Rights): Starting the manual update
    Now the installer reports a running installation (from the adminstrator-account)
    and ask to remove it.
    Now click "yes"
    The installation proceeds successfully.

  • User not listed

    It appears I have a user that does not show up in the user list. thanks to the help from Linc I discovered this problem. In the user listing I have
    three users, Current user CA, other users BA and guest, yet it appears AS is a user and is the "owner" of key applications like CS5.5.
    I am running on an iMac mid 2010 and have gone through os upgrades more than once AS may have been admin with the original acquistion.
    I believe this is somehow connected to an Adobe update issue and now an Adobe Acrobat crash issue.  I am starting here and am posting similar question/comment on Adobe.
    That being said, since AS is listed as a user but I can not locate it anywhere, how do I find and then change it?
    This all started with sudo whoami. Traveling today my response back may be limited until later.
    Bill

    In your other topic, you never said if your current user account was an admin one or not. That's the first thing to check -- sudo only works for admin users, as was explained in that topic.
    There must be at least one admin user account. If you can't find one, something is seriously wrong with your system & that must be corrected before doing anything else, so please let us know if that is your situation.
    Otherwise, in Finder navigate to the Users folder of the startup drive (one way is to type command + shift + g, enter "/Users/" without the quotes, & click the "Go" button) & note the names of the folders in it.
    You should have a "Shared" folder & one for each user account on the system. How many folders do you see there?

  • HP Laserjet 5000N not listed in Print & Scan with Mavericks

  • SMB sharing not listed all the files

    Folks,
    We've got a G5 desktop machine running 10.5.8. It had been sharing a RAID array -- Buffalo DuoStation, 2tb, mounted with Firewire -- with AFP for some time, and apparently that had been working fine.
    But the AFP sharing didn't show up in file sharing at all. We had to set up Windows/SMB sharing, turned it on, it came up just fine.
    Except a huge number of the folders are simply not showing up -- like, a majority. Sharing is set to everyone read-only. It's a photo archive, so I can see every day for 2011, but I can't see any of the months for, say, 2005. Only thing that shows is .DS_Store is in the second-level folders.
    Because this is already in production, and I don't know the RAID setup or anything, I'm reluctant to try to run Drive Setup etc. on it to look for permission problems and the like.
    Any ideas?
    Mike

    I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.
    We had folders like this:
    2005 photos
    -> 01/05
    ->-> 01/13/05
    The slashes are outside the SMB specs, so they simply didn't show. Now I guess I need to find a way to rename the folders in bulk, but I know what the problem is.

  • User not listed in Account screen

    I recently got SMB sharing to work with my mac and windows xp machine. But then i was running into a problem that i could not see the share folders on the xp machine. I created an account on the mac but i still could not see the folders. Then i came across a post that stated i should change the home directory on the shared account and then i can access my folders since they were located in my home directory. I restarted the machine and now i can not see the user under the account screen. I tried to create another account but it states that one already exsits. Please help me.

    I found out how to delete the accounts i just need to know how to properly share the folders. This page helped me out.
