Two ways to possibly close an ARDAgent security hole
Authored by: jfurrer on Dec 02, '09 06:50:26AM

Can anyone confirm that this hole is indeed patched?
I still see the ADRAgent.app error during permissions repair.

Have been trying some fixes following having an online game account hacked and unable to trace how they came to gain access... But, using the provided terminal code - all the terminal commands give me:

"whoami" still results in "root"
Ran sudo chmod u-s /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent
results in "execution error: ARDAgent got an error: AppleEvent timed out. (-1712)"

Running 10.6.2 w all available apple updates

Thanks to any replies!

Kindest regards,
--J
