Security Update 2006-002 is recommended for all users and improves the reliability and security of the following components:

 

apache_mod_php

CoreTypes

LaunchServices

Mail

rsync

Safari

 

Additionally, this update incorporates Security Update 2006-001, which improves the security of the following components:

 

apache_mod_php

automount

Bom

Directory Services

iChat

IPSec

LaunchServices

LibSystem

loginwindow

Mail

rsync

Safari

Syndication

===============

 

I used pacifist to update the apps. What I have updated so far and working after reboot:

 

apache_mod_php

Mail

rsync

Safari (Current Saft not working and needs an update)

automount

iChat

IPSec

Syndication

 

The other services will need to be updated via patch or use the previous update maxxass released.

If you look in the decrypted folder from Maxxuss' 2006-001 patch, the only file he replaces is "loginwindow". So that one surely needs to be replaced if you do the 2006-002 update. The rest of 2006-002 is files that werer already modified in 2006-001 and didn't need patching then, so I don't think they need patching now. With the exception of "CoreTypes". That one is only in the 2006-002 update, so I don't know if it needs patching or not.

 

For what it is worth, I ran the full 2006-002 update, and just copied back my old "loginwindow", and I don't seem to be having any problems 2 or 3 hours later still.

yup, everything works fine after update.

 

One thing though - use the actual pkg to update it (replacing loginwindow after), otherwise the security update will keep showing up in your Software Update. (i used Pacifist to install originally, but the update kept showing up, so i had to use the installer to get rid of it)

you don't need a new Maxxuss pkg. update 2006-02 also contains 2006-01, which Maxxuss has already patched. Loginwindow.app hasn't changed (its still the 2006-01 version), so you can use Maxxuss 2006-01 patch to fix it. Easy

Thanks for the info. yea, I was aware of that. I am willing to live with loginwindow based on 10.4.4, in exchange for "my" massive mouse artifact problem with 10.4.5. I just didn't want anything else to break.

 

MacFixIt also pointed out that "Front Row has been disabled for unsupported Macs" after this update. Those having problems with FR might want to start a new thread about this issue. As for my FR, it still works. If FR is in fact disabled on this update, there will be many upset Mac users.

Updating my 10.4.4 using this update and replacing the loginwindow file with 10.4.4 broke my install. I can only get up to the point when the GUI tried to log in. I assume that loginwindow.app is broken at this point since the update was intended for 10.4.5 only. I did image before the update :), so no harm no foul...

Mabe it's just some wrong permissions. For this I have a 10.4.3 system on a spare 8 GB hard drive. It boots from usb and helped me more than one time for trouble shooting. :)

You do know that you can hide updates in Software Update, don't you? Click on the update that you don't want to see, click on the Update menu, then click Ignore Update. You won't be prompted for that one again.

No it wasn't a perm problem. I updated, sudo copied the patched file to the correct location, chmoded, chowned, corrected permission using Disk Util. After restart I could not log in the gui.

 

I elected not to use the image to restore. I figured I had the chance to use Synchronize! Pro X and see if it does the job via vmware 10.4.4 installation. I had a copy of 10.4.4 on a spare drive and used the app to diff the files from drive 2 to drive 1. It only copied 75mb from drive 2 to drive 1 and rebooted. All is working as it should, minus the update. I highly recommend Synchronize! Pro X as it did a fine job with restoring.

Ok . Thanks Riffer ,it worked this time.

But left me without Mail. iChat and Safari crashed.

So i´ve binned them all ,and using now adium ,camino and thunderbirth!

Mail and iChat appeared only with an A (applications) icon.It seems they lost the Path.Or the exe. ?

I don´t need them anyway.

the only problem is with loginwindow again because of the encription

 

so just do

#sudo cp -R /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app ~/Desktop/

then install and do not reboot

then do

#sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/loginwindow.app /System/Library/CoreServices/

reboot and repair permissions
