Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Little Snitch causing problems.
I suspect that Little Snitch is causing instability. Is anyone else having problems with it? My set-up: MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.5.2, Little Snitch 2.0.3 Imagine a recently-installed widget tries to go online. Little Snitch asks me if it's ok. I say yes and try to dismiss the dialog but, at that point, the whole system freezes and I must do a hard re-start which interferes with various other things. I'm grumpy. > I suspect that Little Snitch is causing instability. Is anyone else > having problems with it?

All working fine here, widgets included. What's the widget you're installing? Cheers, Ian > Imagine a recently-installed widget tries to go online. Little Snitch > asks me if it's ok.

When you say that the whole system freezes do you still have a display but with everything that you were working on literally frozen, mouse won't move, no cmd-tab switching etc? When this happens the only option is to hold down the power button for 10 seconds? If this is the case, then I am having similar problem and I run the exact same configuration of software and hardware. I have not yet found a way to have the problem repeat. Does the console log reveal anything? Have you tried disabling the Little Snitch UI Agent?  SignatureCheers, Steve The reply-to email address is a spam trap.

Yes, I too have found the latest incarnation of Little Snitch to be unstable. I removed it a little while back and things have been much better. Can't say for sure, as I never found anything to prove it. My usual method of diagnosis is, install something - system or applications become unreliable - uninstall that something - everything working OK. Therefore, the 'something' is likely to be conflicting with something else. It isn't always the case that the last thing you installed is the actual cause, but I CBA to waste time looking further.

The ways widgets try to access internet are many, and some are difficult to track by LS; for instance one may "borrow" a complete OSX functionality class to do this, and if you cancel this whole class you may get trouble elsewhere. Now, I don't expect anything such a system freeze even in that case.

Fair enough, I was just adding my own experience to the thread.

I must say I've tried running with Little Snitch disabled for the last couple of days and the system seems more stable. Certainly no freezes since then and I was getting them pretty regularly.

Did you ever decide if Little Snitch was the problem. I've just moved up to 10.5.3 and still seem to have the same problem from time to time.
