    looking for software...

    I know a tool, but it may be way overkill. HP Service Information Portal lets you display the content of a URL within a window, and you can put multiple windows in one page. It's part of the HP OpenView suite, but I doubt that you would spend thousands of dollars for something like that for...

    xhost on macosx

    I assume "local" is defined in the /etc/hosts file in another host? If not, you need to define it first, or just use the IP address.

    IP from DHCP Server

    Most likely, you only get one IP from your cable modem provider. They lock down the MAC address on the NIC on your PC, so that's the only box that can get an IP address. The 169.254 address is a link-local address. You don't get it from a DHCP server. So you can either: 1. Buy a broadband...

    Change Play Count?

    Yes, you can go to your iTunes directory and modify the "Music Library.xml" file. Change the integer under the "Play Count" tag.

    Mount ext2 FS in MacOS X

    No, I don't believe Linux PPC supports HFS+, but I believe it does support the orignal HFS.

    Mount ext2 FS in MacOS X

    Heh... I just had this idea, but not sure if it would work. If I installed Virtual PC and put RH Linux on it, would it recognize the mount?;)

    Darwin streaming server manual?? Working?

    Mika, If you are running OS X, I believe you can get QuickTime Streaming Server, which is pretty much the same thing as the Darwin Streaming Server. I think QTSS has an extra configuration GUI though. It has been a while since I last configured a DSS, but if my memory serves me right, your...

    Mount ext2 FS in MacOS X

    What happened to me was my RH Linux box recently just died. So I need to move my data from it to somewhere else. Since the RH Linux was using ext2 FS, I was hoping to get a firewire enclose and put the hard drive in, then mounted the FS under OS X. So NFS or any other network transfer...

    The Reach of Rendezvous

    As the current implementation of Rendezvous, it doesn't go beyond its own subnet. However, that feature is being planned. Maybe we'll see it when Panther is out.

    Is there a way to mount a Linux ext2 file system in MacOS X (Jaguar to be exact). Thanks in advance.

    read plist files from command line?

    Well, since plist is literally an XML file, I guess you can write a perl script using the XML parser modules to get the values you want.

    Curse you, chown!

    or better yet sudo sudo mv /usr/bin/chown /usr/bin/kickme :p

    Stripping HTML tags from text files?

    I'm sure there is a HTML parser module for perl. Try CPAN. You should be able to find one if not some.

    Help with a good school

    Since you are in Pittsburgh, CMU's computer science is really good. U. Pitt. is not too bad either, but as you probably know, they are not cheap.

    Deleting files with umlaute in name

    Let me make sure that I understand you correctly. You have some files in a directory. You can see them, but can't delete them. If that's the case, try to delete them by the inode. First of all, do a ls -i . It will give you a number that associates with each file. Then, do a find ...

    so does windows sharing and Finder FTP work in X.2?

    1) No hang problem for me for the Finder ftp function. My only complaint is that you can only "get", but not "put" on this thing. 2)When you initiate a smb connection from Jaguar to a Windows box, the username and password are the ones that you use to log in into Windows, not your OS X...

    webcam software

    NetMeeting is actually using the H.323 standard. I know for sure that there are few Linux alternatives, but I haven't seen any being ported to the Mac yet. However, on thing about H.323 is that it will requires some effort if you are in a NAT setup since it was originally designed to be used...

    Problems with Samba

    If you are upgrade to Jaguar from a previous version of OS X, you will have to reset your user password in order to allow the samba connection from a PC to a Mac. What I did was to change my password to something else, then changed it back. I'm guessing Jaguar is using a different password...

    What's with the Network icon?

    Honestly, from a GUI perspective, I would like all mounted volumes to appear on my Desktop, just like the iDisk does.
