I updated this MBP from OSX 10.12.1 to the brand new OSX 10.12.2 two days ago.
A week ago I installed the Xcode suite.
Now the QT shell audio capture in another recent thread is broken when exporting a file.
It gives an error in a window, paraphrasing, The action is not permitted, you don't have the permissions.
Running the QT Player file manually from the GUI works absolutely fine in both save and export modes...
Along with this anomaly I tried running the shell script from root mode in the terminal.
One or the other, (or both), has made my root WRITE access impossible for most of the root hierarchy.
As can be seen I CAN copy from root into "/usr/local/bin" and I can chown, chmod, etc any user's files along with other root tasks.
I do have a virgin iMac with the previous OSX 10.12.1 and QT audio capture works perfectly on that but don't know about root access in the terminal as I don't use it much. I will get back asap...
Any ideas for the above though, or is it an APPLE thing?
TIA.

Apologies if this attaches itself to my OP.
Using OSX 10.12.1 on my iMac which has NO Xcode installed nor gcc and other special command line tools available, the root access in the terminal is the same as the current OSX 10.12.2.
It is limited, so be very aware...
Somewhere inside the OSX 10.12.2 update there is an addition that will NOT allow one to export or save a file run from a shell AND/OR applescript. <sigh>
The marvels of current technology eh!
With all of Apple's resources they manage to consistantly cripple or break third party code without trying with almost every upgrade and update...
This RIPTA might just push me over the edge to stay completely Linux centric...

Thanks for the info.
After reading your post I did some research and found that this condition was enabled even in El Capitan. The code to run Quicktime Player worked in Sierra for versions 10.12.0 and 10.12.1 but has failed on 10.12.2.
As one can't change this condition temporarily on the fly inside a shell or applescript script then manually changing it by going through the rebooting is a non-starter.
I will see if I can do a workaround, if not then I will abandon this alternate audio capture for AudioScope on Apple gear entirely and stick to SOX as that works fine.
Thank you again for the information.
I will disable it on this laptop but leave it enabled on my virgin install iMac.
We are having a little problem on a server. We want that some users should be able to do e.g. sudo and become root, but with the restriction that the user can't change root password. That is, a guarantee that we still can login to that server and become root no matter of what the other users will... (2 Replies)

We have SCO 5.0.5 and can't log into system as "root". The system indicates the password is incorrect. No one knows what happened.
How can we resolve this issue.. Are there files we can restore from backup...?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
