Thank you very much. Sometimes a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing 😉 Remember when you use sudo you are executing the command as root, as the systems supreme being.

There are no do overs. There is no *system trash* to retrive things from. If you remove a file (or directory or even the root directory) it is gone, no changing your mind. As quick as it took to hit the CR is as quick as the system is gone. Which mac driver file for hp laserjet pro m452dn. I don't want to sound overly melodramatic (well maybe I do) but so any time I get 'permission denied' I guess if I try command again with 'sudo' it should work. Is a bad way to think.

Before using sudo know why you're using it and if you expected a command to work as a regular user and it doesn't take a moment to think about why it didn't work. Maybe the system is trying to keep you from doing something really bad. Get a room full of unix system administrators and ask how many ever wipe out a system by executing something as root. The ones who don't raise their hands are lying. Unless you know what you are doing with sudo, you should make sure you have a current backup.and even if you know what you're doing 🙂 My MacBook is backup to my work iMac every workday.

On operating systems where you must manually install Sophos Endpoint Security and Control or Sophos Anti-Virus, you can either: Go to each computer in turn, log on as local administrator and install it.

My iMac is backup via TimeMachine (hourly) and SuperDuper (daily), with some key files replicated to other systems nightly (for example the group web site hosted on my iMac). And various system at work, have critical files backed up to my iMac nightly (as I have about 7 terabytes of storage hanging off my iMac; most of it for backups and backups of backups). If you play in the Unix command space it is just a matter of 'When', not 'If' you are going to fumble finger a command and destroy something you instantly hope you have backed up. Just last week, someone overwrote someone else's files by running script in the wrong terminal session window (this was a very good and very experienced command line user). Luckily I had taken a snapshot of the other user's files about 2 hour before, and nothing was lost. Sometimes Dumb Luck is all you have 🙂.

Mac OS X uses permissions to restrict access to applications, files, and folders. Utilizing this security control can help protect your data from unauthorized access. Whether you use your Mac in public places or share it with other users, you may want to change the permissions on your documents to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data. Of course, it can be difficult to strike a balance between convenience and security when using permissions. Users who are too restricted won’t be able to perform basic tasks. And if you give users too much power, you risk privilege escalation or worse. Use trial and error to find an adequate level of security that everyone can live with.
