Subject: Kern ext. message "An item in the Startup Items folder...Fix"
To: email@hidden
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
After the restart Mac OS X send this message dot thef the kernel
extention myKern
An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/StartupItems/myKern")
does not have the proper security settings." Options are to "Disable"
or "Fix" (or "Decide Later" to change nothing).
The permission, owner and group of the kernel extention files seem
exactly the same
after and before the "Fix". Do I miss something ?
What cant I do to install the kernel extention correctly ?

Hi Alain,
I had thought, actually, that "Fix" was no longer an option.
The general rules for kexts are that all items be owned by root:wheel
(uid:gid is 0:0) and that nothing be writable except by root. That
usually translates to mode 755 for directories and 644 for files.
If you specify "fix" and restart, do you get the same message again,
i.e. did "fix" cure the problem?
Yes.
But only when the MyKern script (below) is not installed with group/
owner: wheel/root
when MyKern script is installed with group/owner: wheel/root
the kernel extention not longer load !!!
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/kextload /Library/StartupItems/MyKern/MyKern.kext
....
Regards.....Peter
