OS X and securityd fix
Jul 9th, 2007 | Comments (1)
Fellow Mac users-
Last night I updated some stuff on my computer and was prompted with the all-too-familiar Keychain confirmation dialog box:
However, when I clicked "Change All" my computer came to a crawl because "securityd" gobbled up 1.3 gigs of RAM. A quick Google search came up with an article by The Malicious Retard over at Unsanity.org.
To sum up the rather long article, just open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type:
sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
or
open /var/db (and then manually move CodeEquivalenceDatabase to the trash, if you can)
That's it. Just restart your computer, and all should be well in the world again.
