UGH! im getting sick of these panic's!

[justl2003]

Well, i recently installed ContentBarrier X4 on this computer, it installed, worked fine, no errors, untill one point... I decied to make a hidden admin account and to do that, i had to go into SUM mode and type in some stuff, restarted. Everything worked well UNTILL i came across simutanious crashes, and this error in console:

ContentBarrier X4 Daemon crashed
my name [= crashdump[1720]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ContentBarrier X4 Daemon.crash.log

and i get that error about every 3 seconds in console... I can still open content barrier, but it just doesnt do its cause (filters websites, etc).

Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

A hidden admin account?

Why were you in Single User Mode?

What did you type into terminal?

 

[SC68Cal]

Original poster has not replied. Cause of issue:

Logged in as root in single user mode and has no idea what he's doing.

i typed nothing in terminal.. all in sum... this is what i typed.... I also have realized that my system has slowed down. I have used multiple cleaning apps (applejack,main menu, and cocktail) and they did nothing.

fsck -y
mount -uaw /

sh /etc/rc
 nicl . -create /users/"server" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" uid 0 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" gid 20 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" home "/dev/null" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" shell "/bin/bash" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" passwd "servpass" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" _writers_passwd "server" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" expire 0 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" name "server" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" realname "" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" change 0 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" class "" 
 nicl . -append /groups/admin users "server" 
 nicl . -append /groups/wheel users "server" 
 nicl . -create /users/"server" naprivs -2147483394 
 defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add "server" 
reboot

ive used 2 computers to create hidden admins on.. one without contentbarrier was fine, the one (this one) was the one that had problems...

Okay, strike one, two, three on that front. Try again next inning.

EDIT: Nevermind.

huh? what are u talking about? and i didnt use those names/passwords. I changed the name of the user and the pass to my likings...

sorry i dont know if this will help but you could always reinstall the os to get everything back as a LAST resort.

if someone has better ideas then yea that would be sweet

have you tried removing content barrier?

 

[justl2003]

well, ive went into content barriers .bundle file and removed the dameon, that seamed to work and stopped the crashes, but system performance is still pretty slow....if i remove content barrier fully, i need some type of content filtering application other than contentbarrier then,a filtering application that doesnt slow down the system... Any ideas?

Not sure of you reasoning for a hidden admin user, so here's what I would recommend.

First, try removing the user you added. http://www.macshadows.com/kb/index....trol_of_Mac_OS_X#Removing_a_Hidden_Admin_User

Then uninstall Content Barrier by rerunning the installer applicaiton and select uninstall as explained in TFM.

You could always invest in a router with parental controls too...
