    I set the "usr" folder to unlimited access

    Definitely sounds like there was some collateral damage; it would most likely be much simpler to reinstall than to track it all down...I know there are several threads around here discussing doing reinstalls.

    I set the "usr" folder to unlimited access

    Also (the first list contained setuid files, these are setgid only): -r-xr-sr-x 1 root kmem 19520 Dec 21 00:59 /usr/bin/fstat -r-xr-sr-x 1 root daemon 39976 Dec 8 11:49 /usr/bin/lpc -r-xr-sr-x 1 root kmem 14892 Dec 21 00:59 /usr/bin/nfsstat -r-xr-sr-x 1 root kmem 18956...

    I set the "usr" folder to unlimited access

    This should affect only /usr, nothing else; are you saying you actually ran sudo chmod -R 777 /usr? If so, there are several files which need to be fixed (/usr/bin/login being the one you've seen complain): -r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 25368 Dec 21 00:59 /usr/bin/at -r-sr-xr-x 1 root...

    mail problem (NOT Mail or Mail.app)

    All the sendmail config files should be under /usr/share/sendmail/conf/ .

    SSH login

    Yup, that's the error I've seen before. My current working theory is sshd somehow loses its ability to speak to lookupd to find the user information. Why logging out of a loginwindow session causes this to occur, I don't know yet... Best bet for now is to make sure Apple knows.

    SSH login

    When you are receiving access denied errors, does sshd log anything interesting to /var/log/system.log? Specifically, does it claim something to the effect of your username being illegal? If so, I've seen that myself, but have yet to figure out a fix to it... If not, what, if any, errors...

    where to put shared library?

    Depending on the exact type of packaging you're using (framework, plug-in bundle, etc), there is a respective directory for that kind of thing in /Library (ie, /Library/Frameworks, /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, etc). You may have to create it though. The System Overview document...

    Password Protecting Folders

    Yeah, I noticed that, but you did reply since that question without an answer, so I believe that makes it open season... When you do the mv dir .dir make sure there isn't a slash at the end (like what happens if you use tab-completion) $ mkdir test $ mv test/ .test mv: rename test/ to...

    Password Protecting Folders

    Yup, openssl enc -in originalfile -out encryptedfile -bf openssl enc -d -in encryptedfile -out plaintext -bf Will encrypt (first line) originalfile with Blowfish, with the output going to encryptedfile. The second line decrypts.

    Bringing apps to front in Finder via SSH?

    Then put it all together: #!/bin/sh osascript -e "tell application \"$*\" to activate" Save that to /usr/local/bin/bringfront (for example), chmod it to 755, and you can run bringfront Project Builder bringfront Finder

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    Okay, that's easy; it appears to me you installed the 10.0 devtools after you updated to 10.1.3 or installed 10.1.3. 10.1's update_prebinding is 180780 in size, 10.1.3's update changes it to 180828. 10.0.x and the devtools for 10.0 all list the same size you're reporting. Have a look lsbom...

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    Well, a cmd of 22 is LC_TWOLEVEL_HINTS but your otool doesn't know that. My guess is you installed the devtools back in the 10.0 days, but haven't upgraded it. This would explain otool's problem with it. The really big question is, why doesn't update_prebinding understand it? What's this...

    Dell: set a new LAN speed record my a--

    Definitely; my dual 500 has gigabit, and I picked it up in Sept or Oct of 2000...so that's at least 18 months. So the real question is, is this a new record (fast or slow) for Dell copying Apple?

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    That's what I'd expect from them. Whatever update_prebinding doesn't like, it's more subtle...one thing to try is to run otool -l /usr/bin/mkservdb which will spit out quite a few lines; the interesting ones start at Load command 9 (where update_prebinding choked). That part on mine...

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    I believe if your machine has a new enough initial install (like 10.1.1 or newer), that update should be rolled into it.

    These are interesting: What do you get from file /usr/bin/mkservdb ls -l /usr/bin/mkservdb file /Library/Receipts/SecurityUpdate10-19-01.pkg/Contents/Resources/GestaltTool ls -l /Library/Receipts/SecurityUpdate10-19-01.pkg/Contents/Resources/GestaltTool Also, when doing the...

    Terminal slow to launch (Continued from Classic forum)

    So what did happen to the original thread? Anyway, about that update_prebinding bus error, if memory serves, it looked like strlen() was passed a null pointer; the problem is, all the calls prior to strlen() had no debug info (as update_prebinding has been stripped of them), so figuring out...

    Have you installed any fonts, especially Postscript fonts?
