OS X v10.5.1 and later include an application firewall you can use to control connections on a per-application basis (rather than a per-port basis). This makes it easier to gain the benefits of firewall protection, and helps prevent undesirable apps from taking control of network ports open for legitimate apps.

If you are struggling with the Startup Disc is FUll warning on Mac OS X, do not panic, there is a simple solution to this very normal and simple problem. Downloads are available for numerous operating systems, including Mac OS X, Windows 7 & XP, and several flavors of Linux. Additionally, it is possible to build CCTBX from a source bundle or, for the more ambitious, the SVN repository at sourceforge. I hope you all like this guide Disable the Empty Trash Warning in Mac OS X. Tired of accepting emptying the Recycle Bin on Mac OS X? There are two ways to turn off the emptied Recycle Bin warning message on a Mac, either by emptying the Recycle Bin on a per-bin basis or by closing the dialog box completely.

Configuring the application firewall in OS X v10.6 and later

Radial Warning Mac Os 11

Use these steps to enable the application firewall:

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
  2. Click Security or Security & Privacy.
  3. Click the Firewall tab.
  4. Unlock the pane by clicking the lock in the lower-left corner and enter the administrator username and password.
  5. Click 'Turn On Firewall' or 'Start' to enable the firewall.
  6. Click Advanced to customize the firewall configuration.

Configuring the Application Firewall in Mac OS X v10.5

Make sure you have updated to Mac OS X v10.5.1 or later. Then, use these steps to enable the application firewall:

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
  2. Click Security.
  3. Click the Firewall tab.
  4. Choose what mode you would like the firewall to use.

Advanced settings

Block all incoming connections

Selecting the option to 'Block all incoming connections' prevents all sharing services, such as File Sharing and Screen Sharing from receiving incoming connections. The system services that are still allowed to receive incoming connections are:

  • configd, which implements DHCP and other network configuration services
  • mDNSResponder, which implements Bonjour
  • racoon, which implements IPSec

To use sharing services, make sure 'Block all incoming connections' is deselected.

Allowing specific applications

To allow a specific app to receive incoming connections, add it using Firewall Options:

Mac os catalina
  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Click the Security or Security & Privacy icon.
  3. Select the Firewall tab.
  4. Click the lock icon in the preference pane, then enter an administrator name and password.
  5. Click the Firewall Options button
  6. Click the Add Application (+) button.
  7. Select the app you want to allow incoming connection privileges for.
  8. Click Add.
  9. Click OK.

You can also remove any apps listed here that you no longer want to allow by clicking the Remove App (-) button.

Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections

Applications that are signed by a valid certificate authority are automatically added to the list of allowed apps, rather than prompting the user to authorize them. Apps included in OS X are signed by Apple and are allowed to receive incoming connections when this setting is enabled. For example, since iTunes is already signed by Apple, it is automatically allowed to receive incoming connections through the firewall.

If you run an unsigned app that is not listed in the firewall list, a dialog appears with options to Allow or Deny connections for the app. If you choose Allow, OS X signs the application and automatically adds it to the firewall list. If you choose Deny, OS X adds it to the list but denies incoming connections intended for this app.

If you want to deny a digitally signed application, you should first add it to the list and then explicitly deny it.

Some apps check their own integrity when they are opened without using code signing. If the firewall recognizes such an app it doesn't sign it. Instead, it the 'Allow or Deny' dialog appears every time the app is opened. This can be avoided by upgrading to a version of the app that is signed by its developer.

Enable stealth mode

Enabling stealth mode prevents the computer from responding to probing requests. The computer still answers incoming requests for authorized apps. Unexpected requests, such as ICMP (ping) are ignored.

Firewall limitations

The application firewall is designed to work with Internet protocols most commonly used by applications – TCP and UDP. Firewall settings do not affect AppleTalk connections. The firewall may be set to block incoming ICMP 'pings' by enabling Stealth Mode in Advanced Settings. Earlier ipfw technology is still accessible from the command line (in Terminal) and the application firewall does not overrule any rules set using ipfw. If ipfw blocks an incoming packet, the application firewall does not process it.

CCTBX¶

At this point the CCTBX package is only needed tosimulate powder diffraction patterns with the powderx utility.

For powderx, it will be necessary to have the full CCTBX package installedand the cctbx.python executable in your path. Downloads are availablefor numerous operating systems, including Mac OS X, Windows 7 & XP, andseveral flavors of Linux. Additionally, it is possible to buildCCTBX from a source bundle or, for the more ambitious,the SVN repository at sourceforge.

Because of the unusual python interpreter behavior forced bythe cctbx.python executable,it is necessary to have all dependencies (except CCTBX itself)installed both to the cctbx.python interpreter and to a system pythoninterpreter (e.g. at /usr/local/bin/python).

The difficulty here might be in using pip with CCTBX ifyou are using one of the pre-built CCTBX distributionscalled “cctbx+Python” or “cctbx plus”,wherein the CCTBX distribution pythonwill be different from your system python.

One way to overcome this difficulty is simply to install all of thepackages twice, once to the CCTBX pythonand once to the system python.

Installing to the system python interpreter is easy with pip.For example, to install the pyfscache package:

Note that “%” is the prompt and is not actually typed.

For the CCTBX python, things are slightly more complicated. First, whenfollowing the pip installation instructions, use cctbx.pythonwith ez_setup.py and get-pip.py. For example:

Once this latter command completes, you’ll see among the final lines of outputsomething similar to:

The directory path in this output points to the location of CCTBX’s pip,which can be used directly. Using pyfscache as an example:
