Well, here's solution:add the non admin user(s), i e your non admin account or the users you would like to give the privileges, to the sudo'ers list, which I assume is separate from admins. However, I think the risk of your current users password being known - it's used more often and perhaps more in others presence- is greater than the occasional use of su. So if others look over your shoulders when you use your admin users password at any other stage, which you usually do quite often, then they can login even as your screen is locked and execute sudo. This is less secure IMHO than having to execute su with a SEPARATE password, used very seldom. I'm going to add my own non-admin user to sudo users anyway, to avoid su unless I really need it. >This also means that sudo can only execute a single command, before >you are bounced back down to normal privilege.

Yes, but unless the user is an admin or in the sudo'ers it's not possible to use sudo, is it? Which was my point to begin with.

It was originally scheduled for delivery 20 March, but I heard yesterday that it shipped yesterday and will arrive on or before Tuesday 4 March. I was a bit surprised to read on MacRumour: Can't transfer an existing Time Machine backup to Time Capsule. This seems very un-Mac-like to me! I was kind of assuming that I could send my current TimeMachine (it is only 1 folder) by ethernet to the new Time Capsule and start from there. Does anyone have any further insight or information on this aspect ? Since it is only a one-off issue, I can live with it, I am just surprised about it. regards, Trevor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can also get in using Safari, but I'm using Leopard. Two things you might want to try as you've just upgraded. 1. Reset Safari (there are options so you don't have to reset everything - ie losing all saved passwords). 2. Empty cache. Hope this helps.

Try going to http:// 208.11.12.253 and see if the site comes up. It does for me. If so, then you are having trouble somewhere in the DNS process. You might try a different DNS server location and then try the URL again. If it still doesn't work, then your machine may have somehow gotten that URL into the hosts file. Open /private/etc/hosts in TextEdit. Most people's should look like this: ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost If you have other items in there, that may be ok, but the important one to look for is bbt.com. If it is there, it must be removed. You need root privilege to edit this file. Open a terminal and type "man hosts" for more info.

There really is no "default" setting for the wireless network. It must be configured to match your router's settings. More info would help. What version of OS-X are you running? Do you have an Airport or Airport Extreme card? Have you made any changes or installed patches or other software recently that you can correlate with the loss of wireless networking? Is the Airport on? Open Internet Connect and click on Airport. If on, click the Network drop-down. Is yours listed? Are any listed? Is your router broadcasting the SSID? > What could be the problem.

Guess I need to buy the card. :) > > Wireless Card Type: AirPort > Wireless Card Locale: USA > Wireless Card Firmware Version: 9.52 > Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available No, you have a card. It is the 802.11b version (11 Mbits/sec). You need to make sure your router is set to use only "b" mode. It is probably set to "g" and that is why the Mac is not seeing it. Log into the router's configuration tools. From any machine you have that is connected (preferably by wire), open a browser and go to the IP address of the router. If you don't know what that is, check the network setup on the PC and look for the "default gateway" or "router" address. If you cannot find that, then take the IP of the PC itself and change the last number to 0 or 1. One of those is most likely the right address. These are very common address assignments: 198.162.1.0, 198.162.1.1, 198.162.2.2, 198.162.2.1 I have a Belkin router and its address is 198.162.2.1. After you put that address in the browser's address bar, hit return. You should see the status screen of your router. If not, try the other variant of the address. Once here, look around for the wireless network configuration section. If you don't have an admin password on your router, create one. If you are not using WPA security, set it to that if available on all of your computers. WEP is pretty useless as it can be broken with just a few minutes of listening and the right software. It is better than nothing though. Pick an encryption key which is pretty random and contains letters, numbers, and punctuation. Make it as long as is practical. Mine is 63 characters, but 13 is probably enough. If you must use WEP then it will have to be a specific length (which I can't remember). Find the wireless channel setting and make sure the Mac is set to the same channel. If the SSID is still the default that was in the router when it shipped, change it. For example "Mike_Private" or "KEEP_OUT" or something similar would be good. Here is why working from a wired computer is helpful as you won't keep losing connectivity while making these changes. Then set the PCs to these new settings, and go through the wizard on the Mac. When you first try setting it up, put the Mac in the same room as the router to eliminate signal-strength as a variable to deal with if you have connection problems. Once it connects there, then move to whatever place you want to use it and then worry about the signal. Hope that helps.

Older macs cannot make use of them. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You have to adjust your router settings (if possible) or buy a new router that can support 802.11b and g (and n) protocols. It would be helpful if you were able to print here more about your mac model from the profiler. David On Mar 15, 2008, at 10:59 PM, m_flynn@comcast.net wrote: Thanks Scott. Found the following.

Make sure the driver (and firmware) on your Airport is up to date. If so, set the router to "54G LRS" and try that. If that doesn't work, install iStumbler (http://www.istumbler.net/) which is free, then take your Mac to a library, coffee shop, friend's house, etc. that has an open WiFi network. See if iStumbler can see any of those. If so, try to connect to them. That will identify whether the problem remains on your Mac or on the router. If you can connect to other nets, then check to see if your router firmware is up to date. On the router config, go to Utilities, Firmware Update and follow the instructions. The reason I suggest updating the router last is that there is some risk involved in flashing the firmware. If anything goes wrong during the process, the router can turn into a brick. It did actually happen to me and Belkin sent me a new one for free, but I was without it for two weeks. Only update that to fix a problem, or if Belkin finds some huge security hole, otherwise leave it alone. Scott P.S.

Three issues: 1. Recently she experiences random power losses - the PB just shuts down. Upon start up the date changes to early 1900s and, of course, there is the lost work. 2. Also, she has a problem with the lower third of the screen intermitantly disappearing (to white) - i suspect a short in the vid cable. 3. Additionally, the ac connection seems loose and it takes just the right positioning to get the little light on the ac adaptor cord to go on. Any fixes for these problems that are user doable? All thoughts appreciated. Thanks. Dave Please consider emailing me off-list.

I am doing something else with the disk at the moment, but I just cannot stop TimeMachine from running. It is switched OFF in the System Preference, I have locked it OFF, and yet it still keeps working ! I have put all my disk partitions in the "do not backup" category, yet it is still running and preparing.... We seem to have very little control over this software ! It just does what it wants, irrespective of how we set the preferences. Did anyone see this kind of issue? Since TimeMachine seems to spend most of its time "Preparing", I had had the idea that maybe I could use SuperDuper to make my backups to the TimeCapsule. It seems to be working OK (not finished the first backup yet). One of the reasons it has not finished is that TimeMachine keeps starting up and consuming resources, even though I have told it not to. I must say, quite to my surprise, that the TimeMachine, and particularly TimeCapsule - although incredibly innovative in concept and promise - are the most difficult Apple stuff I have yet worked with.

Are you saying it starts up even after you've set it to off? That would be unusual. If you turn it off while it's already running, it might take a while to shut down. It has to get all its information and links in order before quitting. If it's a first backup, or a backup that has to copy a lot of stuff, it might take a long time. Another possibility is that your wireless link is weak or there is interference and you're getting a lot of dropped packets. That will slow it down quite a lot. I'd let it run overnight and do its thing then. I think a feature improvement would be the ability to set time-of-day ranges when Time Machine can be disabled.. -- Dennis Fazio From rjmas1 at comcast.net Wed Mar 26 12:11:01 2008 From: rjmas1 at comcast.net (Raymond J.

My internal drive is 120g, and for time capsule, I have an external HD, 50 gigs. For awhile it worked fine. usually 20 gigs or so. Then all of the sudden it failed. The error was it wanted to back-up 150 gigs. I looked in the (very limited) settings to be sure all was clicked off, such as the extra mounts and directories. I turned it all down to a minimum--still, the back demanded 150 gigs. I haven't used the pile since. -- lol!

What was the cost? Best, Henry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did it myself. It involves removing everything, including the display and the motherboard. You'll need a tech manual and some tools (all mentioned in the manual). >What was the cost? I'm not sure, but I think got most of them via ebay and paid between $20-60 or so a piece. This was a some year ago though the latest two. Prices vary wildly I'm sure. I've also had great deals on the lowendmac SWAP list for many used Titanium parts.

Or is there an internet page on how to do that somewhere? If you can't get if fixed, I believe you should be able to operate the PowerBook with the lid closed and an external display attached. There's a way to get that to work that should be in the Apple Knowledge base or elsewhere on the web. -- Dennis Fazio From arne.hulstein at gmail.com Mon Mar 31 14:18:32 2008 From: arne.hulstein at gmail.com (Arne Hulstein) Date: Mon Mar 31 14:19:10 2008 Subject: [Ti] Screen has gone blank In-Reply-To: References: <5312b4210803310118x2639b438v4059571335d938a0@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <5312b4210803311418k3a361031w154feb1e6c60d068@mail.gmail.com> Thanks for your answers everyone. I am going to try the trick with the light. But I can't do that right now as I am now waiting for the results for the voting on Meetial.com. I hope to get this new startup off the ground and could use a legup to get to The Next Web conference in Amsterdam (yes, I'm in the Netherlands) so the coming hour will be crucial for me. Refreshing pitchstorm.tv for votes every second now... ;-) Arne -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
