I need to be able mount SAMBA (SMB sharing) from terminal, for MAC OS versions (10.7). Is there a way to use mount_smbfs with keychain so I don't get prompt the username/password or have to add it to the command? I'm quite new to this so any help would be appreciated.
Check out man nsmb.conf. This is a configuration file that should be located at ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf (or potentially at /etc/nsmb.conf) and allows you to store configuration details in there, like passwords. It's not the keychain, and thus not encrypted, but it saves from having to put the password in the command.

I installed Wireshark and during the installation it showed an error but the installation itself completed. When I ran the program and tried to capture packets on my network, it showed this error:
I'm new to mac so i don't even know how to properly ask.
Could someone help me?
According to User: gmale's answer on ask.wireshark.org, he solved his problem in this way and I'm sure that it could solve yours as well. It says:
1- Open Terminal
To see your exact user name (for me that was AliGht)
2- Type 'whoami'
3- execute the following commands:
cd /dev
sudo chown AliGht:admin bp*
and enter your computer password:
4- now type this command:
ls -la | grep bp
The last command will display a list of files such as:
5- Make sure all of them have your user name and admin as the user/group. For some reason, the last one didn't get assigned properly so I had to run the command:
sudo chown AliGht:admin bpf4
so the last command fixed my problem as you see in the last image:
Done!
If your WireShark is open then close it and open it again.

If you want to open WireShark always as administrator then take a look to another post which I created a shortcut for it via Applescript, and this is the only way which you can open the WireShark always as administrator even when you turn off/on your mac.
I don't know how to solve this problem, but if you want a temporary fix, you can use the following command:
$ sudo /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark
Wireshark provides the solution itself, along with the explanation of weird secrets:
add your user to the group "access_bpf" by commanding
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a `whoami` -t user access_bpf
then launch Wireshark's script
sudo "/Library/Application Support/Wireshark/ChmodBPF/ChmodBPF";
That's all, because (as the script explains):
# Unfortunately, macOS's devfs is based on the old FreeBSD
# one, not the current one, so there's no way to configure it
# to create BPF devices with particular owners or groups. BPF
# devices on macOS are also non-cloning, that is they can
# be created on demand at any time. This startup item will
# pre-create a number of BPF devices, then make them owned by
# the access_bpf group, with permissions rw-rw----, so that
# anybody in the access_bpf group can use programs that capture
# or send raw packets.
If you want to open WireShark always as administrator I suggest to use AppleScript:
Open AppleScript: By pressing cmd+space and write AppleScript Editor in the Spotlight Search as picture below:
Then from File --> Choose NEW
In the open window write:
do shell script "/Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark" ¬
with administrator privileges user name "username" password "password"
Change the "username" and "password" with yours. If you don't know your username in terminal write "whoami" to see your username, password is your computer password!.
Mine is look like this:
Now export your script as Application, by going to --> File --> Export , and change File Format to Application write a name for your file and Save it on your desktop like following pictures:
DONE now run your App from Desktop, and by this way your WireShark runs always by Admin Permission.
I have faced the same problem in MacOS High Sierra (v10.13.6). I have clean-up all dependency files and folders but nothing works for me.
Using the terminal, if I run the following command then it is working -
sudo chmod o+r /dev/bpf*
sudo /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark
This should work.
Run the application from the terminal with the following command:
User$ **sudo Wireshark**
Wireshark should open and packet capture should work then.
Was having same issue with install and run permissions etc. Attempted a few of the above mentioned fixes and although they would come back with the desired result program still would not run properly even with uninstall/install in addition.Getting a bit overwhelmed with it not working after several remedies being attempted I came to one that was super simple and worked -
I simply set up/checked log in as root user. Here you can enable/disable root user account, enable log in account and change root password. So I just switched profiles from my Admin account to the Root account. (I am honestly not sure if its safe to do it this way, so thinking many of you have far more knowledge on this than me I'd appreciate your comments on that!) Also my understanding is that you cannot properly run sudo commands if root account is enabled - So probably just tuning it off if it were on would suffice, but I wanted a quick and easy install at that point. The steps are really easy:
support.apple.com/en-us/HT204012
Then just switch user accounts to root -Log in with "other" then type root and your password.
Now just install Wireshark and it should install and run properly!
**I don't think I would stay in root account after install.
Hope maybe this will help some!
I got same issue and then notice below document provide solution already.

2.5. Installing Wireshark under macOS
The official macOS packages are distributed as disk images (.dmg) containing the application bundle. To install Wireshark simply open the disk image and drag Wireshark to your /Applications folder.
In order to capture packets, you must install the “ChmodBPF” launch daemon. You can do so by opening the Install ChmodBPF.pkg file in the Wireshark .dmg or from Wireshark iself by opening Wireshark → About Wireshark selecting the “Folders” tab, and double-clicking “macOS Extras”.
The installer package includes Wireshark along with ChmodBPF and system path packages. See the included Read me first.html file for more details.
I do not want to modify my folder permissions on my system device files like the accepted answer, but I was able to get permissions by opening Wireshark like this:
sudo /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark
Bonus, you can add an alias to your ~/.zshrc:
alias ws="sudo /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark"
Now execute the file: (or you can open a new terminal window)
source ~/.zshrc
Open wireshark with super user permissions:
ws
I got a strange problem with using git on IntelliJ IDEA on Windows 10.
If I want to access the remote repo on GitLab, I always get
Permission denied (publickey).
Everything I found here or via Google didn't solve the problem.
I tried:
Setting the ssh executable to Native
Converting my public key from Putty to ssh-keygen style
Removing known_hosts
I also tried to access the repo with Git Bash, it works fine like that.
Another interesting fact is that after removing known_hosts, I got "Host key verification failed". I had to use Git Bash once to recreate the known_hosts entry, after that I got the Permission denied error again. Somehow I don't get asked for any user input.
I faced this problem while connecting bitbucket cloud from my Intellij 2019.2 , which thankfully got solved with the following steps. Please note that these steps are to be carried out after you successfully generate and add ssh-public key to your bitbucket/github/gitlab profile.
Open Git-SCM ssh_config file present in Git-SCM installation directory.It's default location in Windows (for 64 bit) is in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\ssh\
Add the following lines into ssh_config
Host *your-gitlab-or-github-or-bitbucket-hostname*
IdentityFile *your-ssh-rsa-privatekey-file-with-absolute-path*
for e.g
Host bitbucket.org
IdentityFile C:/Users/Sahil/.ssh/id_rsa
Source:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004124959-IntelliJ-2019-1-3-Can-t-access-git-using-SSH-keys
Update IDEA 2021.2.3
The bug in Sahil's answer has been fixed and Christian's solution is not needed with the correct entry in your ssh config file for the most common case of one key for one or more hosts. Additional options for complex configurations, such as multiple keys to the same or multiple hosts, can be found in Maddes comprehensive answer on superuser.
ANY inconsistency between ssh-agent and ssh-add leads to a situation where some things work and some don't.
For example, I had the Windows OpenSSH agent running but my path pointed first to the Git for Windows ssh-add. Many such failures are possible given the many ssh implementations out there, so know that you know where things are running from.
To get ssh working in IDEA...
Git for Windows
Install Git for Windows. I put it in C:\Git since, as a standard user without an elevated install, I couldn't write to C:\Program Files.
In Control Panel | User Accounts | Change my environment variables add the Git usr\bin folder to the path after the cmd folder entry already there (e.g. C:\Git\usr\bin for my installation).
Unset environment variable HOME -- it still breaks ssh in this version of IDEA.
In a Windows cmd.exe console, run start-ssh-agent.cmd to start the agent
In IDEA in Settings | SSH Configurations | Authentication type: set it to Key pair OpenSSH or PuTTY and test your connection. Then, make a small change and test Commit and push....
Windows OpenSSH
In Control Panel | User Accounts | Change my environment variables add C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH to your path. Make sure no other ssh implementation is ahead of this in the path!
Start the OpenSSH agent in Task Manager | Services (or any number of other ways)
Set your IDEA SSH Configuration as #5 above
Keep in mind that, on Windows, ssh in IDEA uses the environment available in a standard Windows command-line console (cmd.exe). If git operations work there, then with the above steps in place, they'll work in IntelliJ.
It has been really long since OP but here is my solution on an execution basis:
You need to open a prompt and set the ENVVAR GIT_SSH_COMMAND.
You need to open IntelliJ from that same prompt.
Example:
> set GIT_SSH_COMMAND=ssh -i C:\\path\\to\\not\\default\\key
> idea
Also the path to not-default-key should use ~ instead of %userprofile% or paths unix-like using /.
I was having this same issue, and while it did have to do with the public key, my issue was concerned with WSL2/Linux and windows .ssh folders. My keys were in my WSL2/linux folder system, but intelliJ was looking in my windows folder system.
I copied my rsa keys from WSL2 to windows, and it worked automatically. In fact, I attempted to have it fail again by removing the keys from the Windows folders, but intelliJ must have it's own keylocker solution, because even without the keys in the Windows .ssh folder intelliJ continued to work.
For a screen capture explaining it you can see it here https://vimeo.com/558267383/74d55415c4
If you're using wsl2 in Clion like me, just add
Host github.com
IdentityFile /home/yieatn/.ssh/github
to /home/user/.ssh/config (create if it doesn't exit). You don't even have to restart IDE.
Adding to Cristian Torres's answer:
For all of you folks struggling with a similar problem on Mac OSX:
In IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc. click Tools -> Create Command-line Launcher...
Open your terminal and execute:
$ export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i ~/.ssh/your-custom-private-key"
$ idea
For PyCharm the executable name is charm or /usr/local/bin/charm
Goland: goland or /usr/local/bin/goland
WebStorm: webstorm or /usr/local/bin/webstorm
I've started using the Apache web server that comes with OS X (10.9.4) for testing. When I copy files to its web root (/Library/WebServer/Documents) or delete from the same, I get prompted for the admin password. I have this password, so that's not a problem. It's just inefficient. I haven't had this issue when using other installs of Apache (generally via MAMP). So I'm sure it's just a config issue. Any help is appreciated.
This is done to protect the directory, you can add an ACL to allow your user account read/write access to that folder.
You can add the ACL as follows, Please be sure to change "yourshortname" to your username on the computer.
sudo chmod -R +a "yourshortname allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity" /Library/WebServer/Documents
Let me know if it works for you.
I have an OSX FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext file for an FTDI Chipset Driver where the Info.plist file has been modified for optimum performance.
I would like to supply the modified file to users of our hardware, so that it can be copied to: MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/ and it must have "system" ownership and permissions.
What would be the easiest way to:
Copy the working FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext file (package) retaining the current ownership and priveleges for distribution ?
Provide the user with "simple" terminal instructions on how to copy and overwrite the file to MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/ with system ownership and permissions ?
Every time I try and test, the permissions and ownership get set to the current user so the driver will not load at startup.
It would be optimal if I could bundle this as a simple installer, so the user could just double click to install.
Thanks
Peter
Edit: Needs to work on 10.6.8 and above. I am aware of a finder option in OS X 10.8 that allows for "duplicate exactly" and "paste exactly", but this is not an option for everyone.
you can use cp -p
-p Cause cp to preserve the following attributes of each source
file in the copy: modification time, access time, file flags, file
mode, user
ID, and group ID, as allowed by permissions. Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Extended Attributes (EAs), including resource
forks, will
also be preserved.
We are using a script to alter the FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext file: See: https://github.com/arminbw/wiretouch/blob/master/perl/modify-ftdi-driver-settings.pl
However, did you by any chance experience problems after upgrading to 10.10? See: Patched FTDIUSBSerialDriver kext has to be unloaded/reloaded after reboot (OSX 10.10). Any ideas?
I'm trying to put together the terminal command so I can ssh to a friends iPhone and copy his sms.db file to my device. I'm using mobile terminal.
This is what I've put together so far.
scp root#IPHONE_IP_ADDRESS:directory_of_file directory_where_file_is_copied_on_my_device
scp root#192.168.1.102:/private/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db /var
I'm then asked for password, I enter it and I get this.
/var/sms.db: Permission Denied
Can someone tell me whats needed or what my mistake is? Thank you!
you need to setup the permissions properly (chmod) OR use a different folder with the appropriate permissions/rights.
