GateKeeper 1.0 interacts fatally with Network DiskFit 1.41 causing DiskFit to think files are locked (error 45) when in fact they are not. DiskFit does not recover gracefully from this problem and may corrupt your save set in the process of trying to recover. So, set GateKeeper's override switch to on before your backup. Or, set up exceptions for DiskFit. It is DiskFit's use of PBSetCatInfo that causes GateKeeper to try to intervene. -- CSNet : maner@research1.bgsu.edu | (419) 372-2337 InterNet: maner@research1.bgsu.edu (129.1.1.2) | Computer Science Dept.

I'm not sure if this will help, but a few weeks ago I got an upgrade notice regarding Diskfit 1.5. You may want to call the people out at SuperMac and ask them if this is a problem with DiskFit 1.5.

It just sits in my System Folder. How do you override? Did I miss the docs for GateKeeper? - Jeff Naiman (naiman@yale.arpa)

DiskFit 1.5 has a problem with GateKeeper 1.0 as well (I don't know about the network version, though). It's fine as long as you grant it "File" privileges for "Other". -- Steve Baumgarten | "New York... when civilization falls apart, Davis Polk & Wardwell | remember, we were way ahead of you." cmcl2!esquire!sbb | esquire!sbb@cmcl2.nyu.edu | - David Letterman

You may want to call the people out at SuperMac and >ask them if this is a problem with DiskFit 1.5. I had this problem a few days ago. I just made myself a DiskFit disk without GateKeeper. I keep the disk isolated and use it only when I know that I'm working with something that's not infected, courtesy of Interferon 3.0. It's a little extra trouble to run Interferon, but not much. -Joshua Alden. "And I - I have shown him ... that a man without hope ... is a man without fear" |Josh Alden: jalden@eleazar.dartmouth.edu|
