Disable Little Snitch in Guest account

It seems that Little Snitch 3.4.1 is a rehaul of the old version and this solution to disabling it in the guest account posted here Disable Little Snitch in guest account? doesn't work anymore.

When I get to step 4, there is no at.obdev.LittleSnitch.plist file. Additionally, it seems that when I disable LS in the guest account temporarily and then log out and log back into my regular account, it disables it for my own (admin) account as well. Everything I've tried isn't working and it's so annoying to be bombarded with little snitch prompts on the guest account. Does anyone have a solution?


Solution 1:

You can limit access to specific apps via the Parental Controls in:

System Prefs > Users & Groups > Guest User

then click the Open Parental Controls. It may take some configuration to get all the services working. But I've logged into guest having disabled Little Snitch and it hasn't opened. It worked fine when I logged back into my account.

Solution 2:

I am on Snow Leopard (10.6), and this solution has appeared to work for me:

Find the files

/Library/LaunchAgents/at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/at.obdev.littlesnitchd.plist

and set their permissions such that "everyone" has No Access, and any account or group that you want to have access to Little Snitch has at least Read access.

I don't know of any potential side effects, but this appears to disable it on the guest account while leaving it intact on my main account. You can probably extrapolate this to other accounts or groups.

Note that you will probably need to create a Little Snitch rule for webfilterproxyd to allow connections in order for the guest account to access the internet.
