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?
scutilis like the scorpion in this tale - it's job is to mess with settings when asked. Deleting the tool would be foolhardy, so you will need to track down why it is being called. Search the forums here aboutfs_usageand ask if you can't figure out how to use it to narrow down when the tool runs. You may not have provided enough detail for anyone to guess an answer directly. – bmike♦ Sep 27 '12 at 15:46localhost% sudo fs_usage scutil 18:23:58 fstat64 0.000004 scutil 18:23:58 write 0.000006 scutil 18:23:58 read 0.000003 scutil 18:24:07 write 0.000007 scutil 18:24:07 close 0.000007 scutil– Kane Sep 28 '12 at 10:50scutilchange things and set up this problem in more detail. – bmike♦ Sep 28 '12 at 13:02
