Disable SIP

[bzgnyc2]

Completely unrelated to my question. Maybe you should start your own topic ....

Just to be clear the person I replied to was adding new information about the requirement to be connected to the Internet to disable SIP. Since your post was about difficulties disabling SIP I don't think that was unrelated and was useful information. My comment about not being able to install a new OS did take the conversation along a tangent of similar security control put in place by Apple (your issue distinct from mine but all part of the new walls we're getting around this garden).

In any case, I think it's a bit much to come to the Forums section of a site called MacRumors and act like you own the place. We're all just sharing information here trying to help each other. If you want professional help never off topic you should look into paying someone to solve your problems. That said I have no need to be here.

The signature must be verified before you can enable SIP

Obviously I don't, nor do I have any such delusions. I'm merely suggesting that your line of inquiry goes beyond the scope of the point of this thread, which was a very simple how-to question: "how does one temporarily disable SIP?".

You added nothing to the question, and instead decided to derail the thread in your own direction ("hijacking" in common forum etiquette).

Not sure why you chose this how-to thread. "He did it first" is a pretty childish excuse.
Might I suggest a new discussion thread titled something like "installing unsanctioned OS on Macs"

The signature is verified at every boot without Internet connection.

Anyway, it's a subject for a new topic. You can call it: "why I think Apple is spying on me"

If you don't like SIP - disable it.
If you don't like the startup "security" - disable it.
If you don't like gatekeeper - disable it.
If you don't like VM disk swapping - disable it.

It's easy...

yup we get it.
so far disabling them when needed is easy enough.

Hello timelessbeing. I have the same problem. I was wondering if you have found a solution to this issue? I've tried all of the above, stumbled upon this forum looked promising, but do not see an answer. I have done some additional steps such as: changing bash to zsh using chsh -s /bin/zsh, I've edited the bashrc file, I've tried exec zsh all to no avail. Every time I run $SHELL it still says bash. I even went as far as trying Opencoreconfig, but it does not save the config file for the latest version.

I can't even get my Kali Linux installer USB to recognize at startup. It's formatted as NTFS but the mac shows as journaled. Apple does not support this and they didn't even know what an NTFS file system was. I'm so frustrated, I'm just about to take this thing back and get an Intel chip based Laptop, as I MUST have Kali running along side this OS for my job.

Any updates, suggestions, tips ...anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin.

I take all of that back, I got SIP to disable. But now I have to get my USB stick to show up to boot frokm. But I think I figured that out as well, i will use command line to erase and partition the USB drive and should work.

Thanks,

Kevin.
