It works, but it is clearly focused on managing a collection of Macs in internal networks for classroom and business type Mac management. I also bought the (Apple) Remote Desktop application from the App Store. To make another connection, you must quit the Timbuktu application, then launch it again. The Timbuktu client running under El Capitan version 10.11.5 will only make one connection. The real problem appears to be on the client side. I am not sure that it was a Gatekeeper issue. One suggestion was to remove the Gatekeeper quarantine on individual applications within Timbuktu. I got some replies on MacInTouch, but mostly figured it out for myself. Since I posted my plea for help, I was able to get it to work, but with issues. You might want to study the man page for 'networksetup', too.Ĭlick to expand.Thank you for your advice. and Mac performance now relies upon other processes (other vendors) getting up to speed -and- their products getting up to speed. If tests fail, return the MTU settings back to what you wrote down.Īll of which "help" I sort of doubt is helpful, now, because the odds are, that new Apple security policies are systemic throughout much of El Capitan. You'd need to do that for every Mac, that are the Timbuktu parties, and on any Mac trying to connect to Timbuktu. You will likely be prompted for your user account password. Then *try* / *test* your SSH connection attempts, with another MTU value (of 1424): you get the idea and write down those values. In order to get the current MTU value for en0

In order to find out what your devices are (egs. In a Terminal.app window, run this 'networksetup' command: Ssh -v (look at the man page for ssh) causes SSH to print debugging info.Īlso, you might try adjusting the MTU for your network connection / hardware device: Has anybody found a way to make Timbuktu Pro work reliably as a host for incoming control connections? There must be a few people left who still use Timbuktu Pro. Maybe OS X is blocking the connection, or Timbuktu cannot bind to SSH, or the Timbuktu Host process is not running or not listening. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Timbuktu Pro, but cannot make a connection to control the 10.11.4 Mac. Outbound connections (to Macs running Mavericks or Leopard) still work.

Now, Timbuktu Pro no longer receives incoming control connections over SSH. I just updated El Capitan to version 10.11.4 using the combo updater.

I always run it in secure mode (over SSH). I reenable SIP and Gatekeeper after that, and it just works (until 10.11.4). I have been able to make Timbuktu Pro 8.8.5 work under El Capitan by installing it with SIP and Gatekeeper temporarily disabled during installation and configuration. I have been using it for such a long time, so it is hard to give up and move on. Timbuktu Pro was last updated in 2013 and discontinued by Arris a year ago.
