NRT-0439 MAC OS/X Security Update Problems:
Discussion boards are hosting new reports of secure shell (SSH) and printer problems caused
by Apple MAC's OS/X security update 2008-002 released on 18MAR08, according to a blog posting.
Incompatibility between the update and certain software reportedly can cause SSH and other
programs to crash on Leopard machines. Rogue Amoeba Software released a compatibility fix
for its Instant Hijack component that is often installed by the company's Airfoil, Audio
Hijack Pro, and Nicecast applications. The company suggested that users download the updates
to its programs.
Users also complained that printing had stopped after installing the security patch and that
repairing permissions did not resolve the problem. Some users said that deleting the
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops file (or replacing it from a backup) fixed the problem;
others said that reinstalling the Combo 10.5.2 Updater also worked.
