wow, i dont get 1st often. How about some feedback from the more courageous? yay or nay?
You’ve got to admit that Apple seems to be staying on top of the security issue. As long as they are careful and don’t break stuff as they do it, I say keep on sending the security updates.
Installing now (despite the CoreFoundation bit). Hopefully be back in the time it takes to reboot.
The only bad thing about this is that my uptime count now goes to zero.
Yep, installs fine. Tested IPSec and Kerberos so far. Both work as before.
Ed: I know what you mean. I wish Apple could make that “feature” of more traditional Unix varients more available in Mac OS X. It would be great if they could reduce the need for rebooting after an update. This is a feature that the enterprise market are definitely interested in since downtime costs money, even if it is only a couple of minutes.
We’ll just have to trust that Apple is doing everything they can to keep reboots to a minimum and that when an update is required, it is really necessary.

This hopefully fixes the Kerberos Security Hole I have been reading about.
In some very brief testing, Best Buy, CompUSA, and Fedex are examples of sites that no longer render correctly in Safari after applying the update.
I wouldn’t be in any great rush to apply the update until the scope of the issue(s) relative to number of sites affected is better known.

I agree that some websites such as CompUSA and BestBuy do not render properly. If your Safari’s Debug menu is active, you can use another User Agent until this get fixed.
It is hard to tell if Safari is bad or if the websites use non-standard (read as MS odd variations) HTML.
…and before you start thinking that because the other browsers work fine that it must be Safari, there is a chance that using the non-standard HTML from MS could also produce a possible computer vulnerability. If so, I’d rather have a few messed up websites than be vulnerable to possible unauthorized downloads via MS’s “creative HTML coding” schemes for IE.
In fact, you can go right to the authority of HTML standards, W3C.org, and check any URL with their free validation service at http://validator.w3.org/ .
I entered “http://www.bestbuy.com/” into their validator and it came up with a whole page of errors. Primarily, the webpage isn’t properly declaring what DocType it is. Because of BestBuy’s error in coding, Safari may not know what what format to use to decode it.
If you design webpages, I STRONGLY urge you to run your pages through http://validator.w3.org/ to make sure it complies to accepted standards.
Very brave Dave H. Thanx for the feedback.
Maybe I’m a little too wary of these updates.
Its Apple after all, what can possibly go wrong. LOL
Aryugaetu – try running [url=http://www.apple.com]http://www.apple.com[/url] through that validator website… Non-standard html doesn’t just seem to be limited to Bestbuy, etc.
G5 dual 1.8 Apple keyboard Microsoft mouse. Upon restart no USB device worked, no power to mouse or USB hub. Tried pluging the keyboard and mouse in directly, still no go. Push the power button to shutdown, the powered up. Now USB devices are working fine.
G4 450Mhz Apple Keyboard/Mouse, USB Speedtouch DSL modem. Upon restart no USB devices worked. Re-plugged in keyboard, and mouse and keyboard now work. Still having trouble connect over DSL – Internet Connect gives “Authentication Failure”. I’d be careful with this one if you have a similar setup.
After I installed the security update on a 350 MHz G4 Powermac, I couldn’t coonect to it from outside through FTP, like I did before. The connection was made from a G3 older Mac. Now the G3 (using Transmit) refuses to connect to the G4, even the IP and other information for the network is the same. Please, can anyone help me with this? Thank you.
