El Capitan Losing Sharing Permissions Between Reboots

I am having an issue that when I reboot the my 2010 Mac Pro, and log back in as my user the 3 permission check boxes I have selected under the sharing panel in system preferences become unchecked. They are: Screen Sharing, File Sharing, and Remote Login. They stay checked if I just log off and back on.

This behavior started to occurred when I had to manually restore the data on the system hard drive when it had some unfixable sectors. Since the repair, everything else appears to be working okay now except this last issue. Since then I have upgraded to the newer versions of El Capitan as released, and I am currently on the latest release.

I have checked the file permissions in my user folder and as far as I can tell everything looks correct.

All the other preferences like firewall for example are sticking just fine.

I also have the latest release of OS X server installed. There is a file sharing preference there as well that ties into the same file sharing setting under the preference panel.


If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.


Thanks.

Hi Jeff,


I see in your log file, that you also experienced this error:


120 Apr 9 19:12:03 hfs_clonefile: cluster_read failed - 34

121 Apr 9 19:20:12 hfs_clonefile: cluster_read failed - 34


I also get these errors in El Capitan. Are you still getting them?


Do you have LaCie external drives attached? I'm asking, because I believe it might be related to that.
