Write access for 'others' on devices - is it normal?

Hi.
After a
find /* -follow -perm -o+w
i found a lot of writable files for 'others' including a lot of devices like /devices/pseudo/arp@0:arp and so on. Is it normal?
'others' have also access to the files:
/etc/fddi.cfg # i does not have any fddi-devices
/var/mail # i always thougt that 'mail' is setgid for group 'mail' to access this directory writable
/var/preserve
/var/spool/pkg
/var/spool/uucp
ps: my os is solaris 8 7/01 x86.

I performed a similar test. The resulting files were
public class test
public static void main(String arg[])
    new test2().foo();
}and
public class test2
    private void foo()
        System.out.println("foo()");
}I got as follows:
zpalmer@nestor:~$ java test
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method test2.foo()V from class test
        at test.main(test.java:5)This was on Debian GNU/Linux Etch with a stock 2.6.18 AMD64 kernel and Java 1.6.0_06. Anyone else care to try their system?

  • No write access for iTunes media folder

    Every time I try to download updates to iPod Touch applications or purchase music, I get the message "iTunes couldn't download your purchase. You don't have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it." This was working prior to approximately December 20, 2010. I have searched for answers and every single thing I've tried has failed.
    I have made sure that my user owns all the files in the iTunes media folder and has write permissions. In fact, I have ensured the user has write permissions for all directories both above and below this directory.
    I have removed C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277 .
    I have moved my iTunes folder to a new one (off the root directory, e.g. C:\foo) as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 .
    I have even created a new user account, which also has the issue.
    I am running iTunes 10.1.1 on Windows 7 on a 64-bit AMD Sempron laptop. I have made no significant software changes prior to this problem appearing, though regular Windows and iTunes updates are routinely applied. The device I'm attempting to use is a second generation iPod Touch, but that doesn't really matter - it doesn't need to be connected for the issue to occur.
    I apologize for being quite the Windows luser. This is my partner's computer - I'm a Unix and Mac guy.
    Thanks in advance!

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

    Hello. I am running the newest version of itunes on my PC. everytime I try to copy a cd to itunes it gives me an error message that says I do not have write access for my itunes media folder or a folder within it. I cannot get this resolved using the solution given on the error message. I have been using itunes for 4 years and have never encountered this problem until yesterday. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Quit iTunes.
    Go to My Music folder.
    Select the iTunes folder, right click > Properties.
    Click the Security tab and make sure you have full Read/Write privileges.

    Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
    I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
    Alas, no cigar. :-(

  • "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder..."

    My daughter is trying to import CD's into her library. Some work fine but most won't load and she gets a message stating "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File>Get Info."
    Following those directions the iTunes Info window appears and at the bottom her user name appears with the privilege as Read and Write. Clicking on the little gear icon below we select Apply to Enclosed Items. A message pops up stating "Are you sure you want to apply the selected owner, group and permissions to all the enclosed items?" Clicking ok a status bar pops up showing "Applying permissions to iTunes".
    No changes occur in the issue we're having. This only occurs on her user.

    If you have problems importing CDs with iTunes because of write access errors, you can do the following to reset the permissions to the Music folder for your user/s where the iTunes subfolders are typically located:
    Open Finder
    Macintosh HD
    Users
    Open the folder for your User
    Music
    Right click > Get Info
    Bottom right hand side, unlock the padlock, entering your user's password
    Under Sharing & Permissions, ensure all relevant users have Read & Write, including Staff
    Then, click on the main user (you), then go to lower left hand side, click on the settings cog, and press Apply to enclosed items.

  • " write access for your iTunes Media folder"

    Hello,
    My iTunes all of a sudden started to gave me this error when I tried to update my iPhone Apps:
    *iTunes couldn't download your purchase*
    *You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store > Check Available Downloads.*
    This is most weird since I haven't done anything to the system nor the iPhone.
    I tried to repair permissions, tried CHMOD and then booting from the installation disk and reset password, thrash preferences and the message is always there. Even weirder is the fact that when I connect my iPhone, iTunes ask me about "authorization", if I say AUTHORIZE, it gives me another error saying that it cannot be authorize because of an error, but it does not say what error!
    If I deauthorize, I'll loose more than 200 Apps, but if I authorize, even with the correct password, it simply gives me that bloody error.
    I do not know what else to do, any ideas?
    And yeah... I tried going to the iTunes list, get info and authorize myself, despite being already authorized... by the way I do not have the "apply to the contents within...or something like that, you know what I'm talking about option". My system is 10.5.8. PPC, and I do not see the relevance but the iTunes list is hosted in an external HD.
    I'll be more than thankful for any help.

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access.
    the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !

    if above don't work, try the same procedure on the folder on the external containing your media files.

  • PLEASE HELP. you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it

    I am using Windows 7. If it makes a difference, my OS and important programs run on an SSD, while eveyrthing else is on a larger HDD. For awhile now I have had this problem anytime I try to do things in iTunes like import a CD, or a blu-ray digital copy. It gives me this error "you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it windows 7." I have read tons of articles on how to change file permissions in windows and give full control and all that stuff. I swear I have read and tried anything remotely close to a solution for my issue, and it just wont fix it. Anyone have any out of the box ideas aside from changing permissions on the iTunes folder?
    Also, when I make a new user account on my PC, the fresh iTunes on that account works just fine. So I don't know whats going on. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

  • I get an alert that says I have no write access for itunes media file

    I get an alert that says I have no write access for itunes media file. What should I do?

    Downloaded it (Firefox Setup 35.0.1) but still have the same problem. I double clicked and right clicked and "Ran as Administrator" but still had the same result. The setup file description shows "7z Setup SFX" so I suspect that is why the popup title is 7-Zip. It tries to extract but at about 80% is when I get the popup.

  • Delete and Write Access for PA infotypes

    Hi Gurus,
    Our clients require managing Write and Delete access separately for PA infotypes. Example, an employee can have Write access (able to save values in infotypes) but s/he will not be able to Delete this infotype record one it has been Saved.
    How do we implement this?
    In the standard authorizatio object for HR master data, P_ORGIN you only have M, R and W. If an employee was given a W access, s/he'll also have Delete access.
    Is there a way on how to do this?
    <removed by moderator>.
    Thanks.
    Olekan Babatonde
    Edited by: Suresh Datti on Dec 28, 2009 6:21 PM

    Olekan,
    First of all, if your managing PA Infotypes, you're also using the P_PERNR object authorization.
    Next, you're right. For SAP, the Write and Delete permissions are the same authorization level (W).
    To avoid build a "Z" solution, i suggest you use the "block" permission in one of these ways:
    1) assign the S authorization level (Symmetric) for write access using the Symmetric Double Verification Principle; that is, user 1 do changes to an infotype and data is saved with "blocked" status, then user 2 save or delete data entered by user 1. Another day, user 2 do changes to an infotype, then data is saved with "blocked" status and only user 1 will be able to save or delete data entered by user 1.
    2) assign the E and D authorization level for write access using the Asymmetrical Double Verification Principle; that is, if user 1 has E, and user 2 has D, then the user 1 ever maintain data with "blocked" status and never will be able to save or delete data. And user 2 ever will be able to "unblocked" data (for save or delete) and never will be able to maintain data without "blocked" status.
    Check this links ([1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fd/4bba3b3bf00152e10000000a114084/content.htm] y [2|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/d3/4bba3b3bf00152e10000000a114084/content.htm]) to find out more information about these principles.

  • Why the groupware connector need Read/Write access for all mailboxes?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know the technical side of how the  Groupware connector creates activities,tasks and contacts?
    I know it's not sending them with SMTP, it's work with DCOM, 
    is it creates it directly in the recipient mailbox!?, and thats why it needs write access?
    kind regards,
    Pavel, sheynkman.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information but i already red this note and the .doc files,
    it still not answering WHY you need this permission? to answer this question you need to know the technical side,an answers to question like how the GW put the contacts or the activities in the user's inbox(using DCOM)?
    Think about that:
    If i have BP's that is not part of my organization, no way somebody will give me administrate permissions on his mailbox.
    So if this is really true SAP Didn't think that through.

  • Setup write access for all descendants except one

    Hi,
    I'd like to give a write access to all descendants of a member, except one.
    I thought I could simply give WRITE too all descendants, and set a NONE on the member I didn't want to give access.
    That should work according to the Planning documentation :
    Inheriting Access Permissions
    Inheritance may determine the user or group’s access permissions. You can specify an attribute
    that causes the children or descendants of that member to inherit its access permissions. Access
    permissions assigned to members take precedence over inherited access permissions. You can
    include or exclude the member from the access permissions setting.
    However, after I set it up this way, the inherited WRITE takes precedence over the NONE set up on the member.
    Am I facing a bug, or is there an error in the documentation, or am I really missing something ?
    I am working with 11.1.2.1, EPMA application.
    Thanks,
    JM

    If you set write accesss to descendants and then set none to one of the members then the none access should take precedence.
    This statement should be true "Access permissions assigned to members take precedence over inherited access permissions."
    Cheers

  • On my mac, when I try to import certain music CDs (not all) I get this message "You dont have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it.  To change permissions, select your iTunes media folder in the finder, and chose file get info"

    I am not sure how to fix this and it is driving me crazy can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi folks,
    I've had this issue for a year now and I've read this and several similar articles on how to change permissions for you iTunes Media folder and all that enclosed stuff.
    Well today, I got brave and dove into this issue once again and to my surprise I have it remedied.
    Before I kept going to my side bar folder 'Music', then located the iTunes Media folder ( I have several libraries).
    This time, I went from (your mac)HD, directly to the 'Library', scrolled to 'iTunes' and reworked my permissions there by creating a new user... (ME).  While at it, I adjusted 'Administrator from and back to, 'read and write', gave myself, 'read and write' and left other users as 'read only.'
    I then applied to all enclosed folders with the 'gear wheel,' locked the whole shabang up and proceeded to install several old CD's which refused to import in the past.
    RECAP:
    HD/Library/iTunes   set permissions for YOU to 'read and write,' then apply to all enclosed folders.
    BTW: those enclosed folders are likely to be all the albums you've collected previously.
    Perhaps, the 'iTunes Media folder' description from previous instructions kept people looking in the wrong place.
    In any case, I'm up and running and I hope you will be too.
    Thanks,
