"Operation not permitted" error trying to run WiFi sync server.

This used to work, I'm not sure when it stopped working properly.

As soon as I try to check the box in the Wi-Fi Server preferences tab, I get an error dialog that just says "Operation not permitted" and a generic icon. I have updated and rebooted, not sure what else to try at this point.

I would prefer to stick to WiFi sync.

Sync Type: Wi-Fi
Referrer: forum-search:"operation not permitted"

    @rothaar: I wonder if there's some kind of permissions issue there, and if that may be an OS X error, as I haven't seen anything like that from 1Password. Could you take a [screenshot](http://take-a-screenshot.org/ and include it in your reply?

    Then, if you're still having trouble, the best thing to do will be to restart your Mac, reproduce the same issue, and then generate a diagnostic report and send it to support+forums@agilebits.com so we can look at the logs to determine exactly what is happening:

    Just be sure to include a link to this forum thread and your username in the email so we can 'connect the dots'. Also, knowing your timezone and the date/time of the incident will help us find it in the logs. The troubleshooting utility can also be used to repair permissions. We will get to the bottom of this! :)

    Thanks for the quick response, brenty.

    I took a screenshot and was going to post it, but then after doing completely unrelated things for a few hours, the problem went away for no identifiable reason. So, problem solved! Unfortunately I can't provide much insight about what went wrong (and then right) to help anyone else.

    I did work with firewall settings, but nothing that seemed like it should be relevant. So, maybe that was it.

    In any case, no more issue.

    @rothaar: Thanks for the update! So long as it's working for you I think we can both be happy about that. The firewall makes sense, as that can certainly cause connection issues — though the context of the "operation not permitted" error itself isn't clear. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further issues. Cheers! :)
