Q: network home user lead to damaged keychains - still no fix since Mavericks

Hello guys!

Just that no information is lost - at the other thread I released a new script thats a lot easier and works as expected. It is based on the knowledge of lots of community members.

Bye

Christoph

#! /bin/bash 

# logout-fix.sh 

# This script runs as a logouthook to fix bugs that Apple should have fixed

# The bug occurs to network home users only because since OS X 10.9.x not all processes

# of a user that logs out get killed. It is a workaround developed by Luda24,

# John Lockwood, Christoph Ewering, Benjamin Losch and may others at the

# Apple Support Communities

# Once again - this is a workaround that works with OS X 10.9.x to 10.11.5

# (shame on Apple for ignoring many bug reports and feedbacks about this bug)

# You should store this script at /usr/local/bin and then run

# "sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /usr/local/bin/logout-fix.sh"

# remember to set the access rights "sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/logout-fix.sh"

# and owner to "chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/logout-fix.sh"

# And here it is what this script does:

# 1. Check if the logging out user is a local or network user

# 2. Kill left running processes of the logged out user

# 3. Unmount Network-Share that may have been left mounted

# 4. Remove cache files from /private/var/folders that are owned by user $username

# Here you can select if you want to any feature disabled or enabled

UNMOUNTHOME=1

CLEANCACHE=1

# Do not change anything after this line

username=$1

/usr/bin/logger "logout-fix.sh $username" 

Local=`dscl . -list /Users |grep -x $username` 

if [[ "$1" == "$Local" ]]

then 

    /usr/bin/logger "logout-fix.sh has nothing to do - logged out user was a local user"

    exit 0 

fi 

# Here is the important part - kill users processes - first of all „secinitd“ and „secd“

/usr/bin/logger "logout-fix.sh trying to kill all processes of user $username"

/usr/bin/killall -15 -u $username

/bin/sleep 5

/usr/bin/killall -9 -u $username 

# Unmount network home directory share if left mounted after user logs out

if [ $UNMOUNTHOME ]; then

  mountpath=`mount | grep /Network/Servers/  | awk '{print $3}'` 

  if [ "$mountpath" != "" ] 

  then

   /usr/bin/logger "logout-fix.sh trying to unmount $mountpath"

   /sbin/umount -f $mountpath 

   /usr/bin/logger "LogoutHook unmounted: $mountpath " 

  fi

fi

# Delete old stuff from /private/var/folders - mainly cache files after user logs out

if [ $CLEANCACHE ]; then

    /usr/bin/logger "logout-fix.sh trying to clean cache files of user $username"

  /usr/bin/find /private/var/folders/* -type d -mtime 1 —user $username -exec rm -vrf {} \;
