HelloMac is on a distinguished road
My machine would not boot today. Had to reset npram/nvram in
order to get it to boot from install disc. It would get to the gray logo screen
and the turning gears but go no farther.

Reset partition, erase, zero out, reinstall.

At the end of the install log there multiple entries of folders in private framework/version a/* that metadata was updated with "actual metadata" from a similarly named folder.

One of the last lines on the log says
"if diskobject (null) was set with a nil dmdisk object"

I found a .plist file with setting references to World of Warcraft, starfighter, com.blizzard.launch, com.blizzard.download and otherstuff like that. I have never played wow and don't know the reference to blizzard.

The machine has not been allowed on the net, everything is locked down. Installed little snitch and set rules to deny outgoing communications.

Will look at the path question tommorrow when I'm more fresh so I can be sure to carefully see where I can move around on the he from the command line.

another thing - the box that I bought with a fresh copy of leapord says 10.5.2.

System profiler now says I am running 10.5.1.

I wish it was a hoax and my life would be easier.

Through more trial and error and using a program called RootKit Hunter I've learned that after a HD erase, zero out, OS install, combo update to 10.5.3 I'm left with a system that is configured for SSH protocol 2:

ssh config file - yes
ssh root access allowed - yes
ssh protocol v1 allowed - no
syslog daemon? found
syslog remote logging? yes warning
install.*@127.0.0.1:3236

I also find that a hidden file /usr/share/man/man5/.rhosts.5gz:gzip compressed was changed from ".rhosts.5" from Unix.

These settings persist through the various setting updates I make in the account preferences regarding sharing, etc.

If I try to edit the files (with TextEditor.app), the system will not allow me to save the changes. I'm attempting through Finder and I modify the file and folder permissions for my account to write, but still am blocked.

What's this from my DSL modem's system log this morning?
"Connecting PPPoE socket: 00:90:1a:a0:57:82 9702 br0 0x1000d538"
I don't recognize 00:90:1a:a0:57:82.

The date is May 2007 until several lines in when it changes to today's date. This modem was purchased on Saturday and configured on Sunday.

Yup, standard Mac OS X Server config... SSH2 is used for remote logins among other things.

Because you need to edit that file as root, and you can't do that with TextEdit by simple double-clicking the "TextEdit" icon. If you're versed in vi or nano, try editing the file from the command-line with "sudo".

Could that be your ISP's Mac address?

Could it also be that your DSL modem's DNS has been poisoned? Can you do a "hard reset" of the modem -- in other words, can you purge the settings on the modem to their default state, then reconfigure the modem to be sure that it's not some poisoned modem settings?

I will try a reset on the modem, but I've attempted that on the previous DSL modem a couple of times and ended up with the same thing. Thus my decision to buy a new modem. And here I am again.

I haven't looked up the man file on it yet, but do you know what the default config for Raccoon should be upon a fresh install? My system has a config setting that allows anonymous login right off the bat.


Here's a bit more of the log from this morning that I meant to post.

The second remote connection attempt to port 443 is what worries me. I have that port blocked by the firewall that is built into the modem.
