<br />
I am planning on setting up a mac os x server, but I want to understand something about file sharing first.<br />
Lets say that I have two mac clients now, mac_a, mac_b, mac_c<br />
mac_a has the following users<br />
usr_1  uid=501  gid=501<br />
usr_2  uid=1000 gid=1000<br />
<br />
mac_b has the following users<br />
usr_2 uid=1000 gid=1000<br />
usr_3 uid=501 gid=501<br />
<br />
mac_c has the follwing users<br />
usr_3 uid=501 gid=501<br />
usr_4 uid=502 gid=502<br />
<br />
Now lets assume I have set up the server machine and want to add these users...<br />

I have it set up to do file sharing and it works like a treat at first.

I&#039;m having issues running Apache through the built-in firewall on OS X 10.5. I tried adding <b>/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd</b> to the list of applications that can accept incoming traffic, but it didn&#039;t do any good. How do I allow incoming web requests? On OS X 10.4, all I had to do was unblock port 80, but that doesn&#039;t seem to be an option...<br />

<br />
sudo systemstarter start nat<br />

it generated natd.conf.apple file, for this steps, everything is fine, but I try to test the port forwarding, it doesn&#039;t work, even I disabled the firewall function on ServerAdmin, is there anyone succeeded for using port forwarding function on os x...<br />
