Why ("/Library/StartupItems/") (in) proper security settings.
Why I get the notification:
"Items in the Startup Items folder (“/Library/StartupItems/”) have not been started because the folder does not have the proper security settings."
after starting up,
when I have no items in that folder?
Removing the folder (as admin) and restart, automatically recreates the folder, (which is fine) but I get the same message about security.
Why,? or rsther how can I make it go away?
Tiger's startupItems folder requires permissions that are different from Panther.
Is your computer maintained by anyone other than you? people at work? Something like FileWave, which we use, or Rsync could be changing files in there on you. If it's your own personal computer then it's probably not that.
It's also possible that an installed program may change permissions on an item in that folder to be something other than what Tiger uses. What items are in your /Library/StartupItems/ folder?

Library/StartupItems folder lost security settings
After running DiskWarrior I re-started my computer and up jumped a dialog box with a message about the security settings not being set on the Library/StartupItems folder being set. Here is the System Log message:
Dec 15 12:17:20 Bubbas-Computer /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityFixer.app/Contents/MacOS/SecurityFixer: "/Library/StartupItems" failed security check: permissions
Dec 15 12:17:20 Bubbas-Computer /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityFixer.app/Contents/MacOS/SecurityFixer: "/Library/StartupItems" failed security check: not owned by GID 0
It gave me the opportunity to fix it, but I don't understand how this happened. I have never seen this message before and I didn't do anything unusual.
Thanks, Bill

I recently got a new Macbook Pro. I transferred my info from my old mac. Now when I startup my Macbook Pro, I get this error message "“/Library/StartupItems/IntegoCommon” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings." I have run Disk Utility, but nothing has changed.
Thanks!Uninstall any Intego junk according to its instructions and ensure that all its components have been completely eradicated from your Mac. You may need to download Intego's installer so that you can run its uninstaller.
Intego will make your Mac run very poorly, unacceptably so. Never install such junk on a Mac. -

Hello:
I keep getting this message upon startup. Can't figure out how to address it. Here it is.
"/Library/Startupitems/Intego Backup Manager Pro" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
Any suggestions?There's an invisible one name "Icon" according to the error message.
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
First, make invisible files visible. Find the invisible file in that folder and remove it. Please be sure you are looking in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. There is another one in the /Home/Library/ folder. Be sure you look in the right one. -

Whenever I turn on or restart my MBP, a dialog box appears saying --> “/Library/StartupItems/if2k” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
How can I fix this?
First, I searched online and found a site with a If2k_Remover_V2.zip file, but whenever I try to open the link, a page comes up saying,
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /w/files/if2k/If2k_Remover_V2.zip on this server.
Any thoughts on this?
Also, I see the if2k folder in the Library/StartUpItems; is it something I can just drag into the Trash? Or would that be a bad move?Did you ever figure this out? I just upgraded to Lion on my Air and I have the same issue.

Error message: Item doesn't have proper security settings
I just installed protools on my new mac bookand now i get an error message that says "An item in the Startup Items folder (/library/startupitems/PACESupport) does not have the proper security settings. Then it prompts me to disable, fix, or decide later. It may be unrelated but i'm not sure what to do about it.
I'm sure the people who built your system are very qualified, but if they told you they installed "Reader Professional" which doesn't exist, I'd have to question those qualifications at least a little. The message you're seeing I've only seen twice before; once with a little used mail client, and the other time with an improperly configured IMAP server setting in Outlook.
http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/acrobat/
You'll find support for Acrobat Pro there, but it will not be free.
OR..
we can look into it here, but we need to know what email client you're using, whether you use a dedicated (IMAP or POP) mail server or HTML (like G-mail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail), and since help in the forums is free, it most likely won't be as fast as the paid support options. -
What to do when you encounter "does not have the proper security settings
What to do when you encounter: /Library/StartupItems/Qmaster" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. AND......../Startup Parameters.Plist ?
I have a PowerMac G5 using Operating system 10.6.8
I took this mac to the Apple store, they reset my os software and I have been having problems eversince. Since this Mac weights about 50 lbs, I don't want to take it in a gain. But - I am 67 years old and don't really understand some lingo - so straight english would really help.
I so appreciate any help I can get.>>I have no idea what all that means...
rwxrwxrwx root admin
It shows that the files are owned by 'root' & in the group 'admin', while being readable (r) , writeable (w) & executable (x) by user:root, group:admin and everyone else.
Startup items must be owned by root, the group must be wheel, and they must only be writeable by root.
You can't readily make the required changes via Finder, so you'll either need to reinstall the software that added them, remove (trash) them altogether (they start qmaster, used by fcp &/or compressor) or use Terminal & the 'sudo' command to alter the ownership & permissions.
If you choose the latter - run these two commands in Terminal while using an admin account, you'll be asked to enter the admin password, which won't be echoed onscreen. Restart afterwards. It's important that you copy/paste these exactly.
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Startupitems
sudo chmod -R ugo+rwX,go-w /Library/Startupitems
However - your startup problems with the prohibited sign are unlikely to be resolved by this, although it should avoid the warning messages you describe.
When did the startup problems begin - after adding any new software or making other changes ?. -

I recently upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8, so that I could download iTunes to my new iPhone 5. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I received error message about my Symantec Norton anti-virus security, so I upgraded that to security that's compatible with 10.6.8. Now I receive the error message above, about my Start-Up Items folder. There are currently no items in the folder. How do I get rid of the error message above? Thanks for any help.
Hello,
Resolution:
To prevent the "Insecure Startup Items folder detected" message from appearing
Open Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the name of the volume where Mac OS X is installed (default name is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button.
After permissions repair is complete, restart Mac OS X and verify that the message no longer appears.

"/Library/StartupItems/LoginServer" appears at startup
I get this 'yellow-triangle' banner when I get started..."/Library/StartupItems/LoginServer" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings." I only get an OK box to select. How do I determine what is prompting it to appear and how do I get it fixed? Thank you.

Ok, Went in via Finder through Macintosh HD; then Library, then StartupItems; then to LoginServer. Shows nothing under Spotlight Comments; General shows 8kb for 2 items, Shared Folder not checked
So "LoginServer" has a "Kind" of "Folder"? I thought it was a file. In any case, its permissions aren't what are standard or a system file such as you'd find in that folder, which is the point of the error message.
I ventured into the directory further to find the StartupParameters.plist and did a quick view. Should I post that here for review?
That might be interesting. On the other hand, unless you have a plist editor on your system, it might be hard to learn anything about what's inside that file. So determining why it's there might be difficult. Do the creation dates of those files match the date you might have installed anything?
what is 'wheel'?
"wheel" is a group that the user "system" belongs to. On a properly-configured file in that folder it would be where you see "admin".
