MacOS – Why scutil always try to modify system network configuration

macosNetworkPROXY

I set a global sockets proxy via 'Settings'-'Network'.

Then scutil always tries to revert my setting, then prompt a dialog to ask my password to allow this change. I can cancel it, but it will be popped up in few seconds.

Does anybody know why scutil wants to do it? And how to forbid this change forever?

It looks like it's a bug of Lion Mountain, and it has been fixed by Apple.

The dialog won't appear after updating to 10.8.2.

MacOS – Disable screensaver password requirement from command line

If you are not forced to use defaults write you can use the following command. It interacts with the OS the same as if you were to utilize System Preferences.

TESTED ON:

10.5.x
10.6.x
10.7.x
10.8.x
10.9.x

sudo osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to set require password to wake of security preferences to false'

NOTE: If the command is being run inside of a script that has been given root privileges you would not need the sudo.

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to set require password to wake of security preferences to false'

Windows – iTunes, Proxy Authentication and NTLM

Try CNTLM to convert your NTLM proxy to a local proxy without authentication. In this way iTunes is able to connect to the internet.
