Hey all, long time lurker here :) I have been running an Xserve on Jaguar for a while, had a problem where it started having DNSresponder errors so bad that I had to just reinstall the OS which, unfortunately, required a WIPE of the boot volume (trying to install plain old 10.2 over the top...

The developer's web site is not reachable, does someone have a copy of batchmod they can compress and email to me? If so please send me a private message and I'll give you my email address. Thanks!

why is this? when i try to do "finger user@ip" to another os x machine it immediately says connection refused even with the personal firewall shut off. any idea how i can get os x machines to respond to finger commands?

OS 9 had this simple method of setting your modem to auto answer and when you dial into that modem it allowed (with username and password of course) you to be part of the network once connected. This used to be only ARA, then apple expanded it to provide PPP so even windows machines could...

I keep IE's cache on a drive which is not my OS X boot drive and for good reason. For the second time in about a year, IE has flaked out and caused me to have to force a restart on my machine. Last time I was able to use Disk First Aid and Norton Utils 6 to recover the drive and its two...

Hey all, I'm headed to Macworld next week and need to have 3 Mac OS X boxes running in a LAN but I need to be able to do TCP/IP connections by DNS name as well as IP address. We won't have internet access at the booth so no DNS can be set up. In macos 9 you could edit a Hosts file, inserting...

I'm trying to use the Mac OS X terminal and grep to pull good addresses from an email list. Basically I need to extract, from one particular file, anything matching: grep [sometext]@[sometext].[sometext] sourcefilename > destinationfilename what do i need to make this work? Thanks...

I have a new OS X Server setup running 10.1.1, all patched up with nowhere to go. It serves up files for Macs flawlessly as you might expect, but every single Windows client which tries to connect ends up getting a bad password error. All of the passwords are 8 characters or less, some alpha...

Apple, you've got a real problem with multiple monitor support on your machines now. We were in the market for a couple of 733 quicksilvers a few weeks back. I was browsing the apple store, building a box, and started looking for a second video card option. What?! no second video card option? Oh...

I'm running a new quicksilver 733 at work with OS X version 10.(nda). Photoshop wouldn't launch because it couldn't find some necessary file, it worked yesterday, so I booted back to 9 and ran norton disk doctor (v6.0) and found TONS of errors on all partitions, some "Major". I had to run it on...

I'm going to be putting OS X on my home machine (G4/450MP) but I want to put it on a separate drive. I'll probably be getting an IBM Deskstar 30GB or so. I want to retain my slower 20GB stock drive as my OS 9 drive, but i want to redesignate it as the slave and use the new IBM drive as master...

Like DP4, this Beta will not install on either of our Beige G3s. Actually the problem is that neither of these machines will boot from the Beta installer CD. Here's the configurations of each: A: G3/266 desktop upgraded with an IBM 466MHz ZIF. Upgraded the ROMs to Rev.B. Added a Keyspan USB...

OSX looks to be a real RAM hog, so is Apple going to put 128MB RAM minimum in the little guys (iBook & iMac) when they start shipping with X? I don't see how Apple could do go with less, but Apple seems to like to give people half the RAM they really need ;)
