I am curious to find if there are any tools out there that will provide visual notification when somebody tries to connect to my machine over any protocol. For example, I want to find out if somebody is trying to ssh into my machine, or trying to connect to timbuktu, or file sharing. I realize...

So i've recently installed fink again on my 10.3 install, and I have been playing around with various cool tips for running X11, and have come across two different problems, both related. 1) If I evoke "echo $PATH" from Terminal.app, it lists the standard directories, but it does not list...

In OS 9, when you ran software update, or an installer, the installer would find the Apps location and update it. In earlier build of X, if you moved an app from its original location and tried to update it, the installer would only look in /Applications and install the update files there. So...

I remember seeing something about Apple adding case sensitivity to the file system in Panther, but it appears to be gone? I remember seeing the option listed when formatting a drive using Disk Utility on earlier builds, but I can't find in in the current 85 build. I tried creating two files...

Just wanted to post a comment. I just installed panther 7B69 onto a 600mhz iBook, and with only 128mb of RAM, it acutally ran well! It was no speed demon, but it made actually using the system feel more like OS 9. No waiting for the machine to catch up to me! If this is any indication of...

Under all versions of X, if you have no finder windows open, and click on the Finder icon in the Dock, a new Finder window will open. If you already have a Finder window open, it will bring it to the front. I hate this behavior, and was wondering if anybody knows how one could alter the dock...

I am having various issues with Panther, and I was wondering who else was having issues, and if anybody knows how to fix my main problem. Occasionally, the Finder will stop showing icons, mainly folders and the "sidebar" icons for iDisk and Network. In large icon views, there is no icon at...

Just wondering if anybody who has Panther can check to see if you can turn off the brushed metal interface and revert back to Aqua in a similar manor to other apps. In most apps, if you navigate inside the application package, you can open the projectbuilder files representing the main window...

Does anybody out there have a WWDC copy of Panther? If so, can you confirm weather or not there is a preference to turn off Brushed Metal in the Finder? I hate BM (as i call it), and am curious if Apple will allow us to reset the Finder to Aqua so that it actually follows their own UI...

After watching the WWDC keynote live, reviewing every Panther related page on apple.com, and reading numerous other reports from WWDC, there has been absolutely NO mention of weather or not Panther is actually compiled to be 64bit native, or if it is actually running in 32bit mode like every...

With all the talk of WarChalking and the like, I'd like to be able to monitor who is connected to my Base Station. Either I'd like to monitor this live, or via a logging system. This may not be possible due to the limitations of the firmware (current), but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask...

I can't remember if this is possible, but I'd like to check the version of some unix binaries I've installed. For example, I'd like to be able to use a Terminal command to tell me what version of MySQL or GiMP or whatever, I have installed. I know you can use Fink, since that is what I...

I have successfully installed and setup the MySQL server using Fink. I know the proper terminal command to start the server: /sw/bin/safe_mysqld & How do I stop it? I've installed Xmysqladmin also with Fink, and when I try to stop the server, it times out. I've tried killing the mysqld daemon...

When running the Repair Permissions tool in Disk Utility (10.2.3), I get a permissions error that won't go away. I've run the repair tool, and it is always there, and I've booted from the 10.2 install CD and run the tool, with no luck. Here is what is reported: 2003-01-03 00:28:19 -0800 -...

When I view computers in my workgroup on my pc, my mac is reported as "Samba 2.2.3a (supermac)". I know that "supermac" is the machine name I set in the System Preferences Sharing pane, but "Samba 2.2.3a" that appears before it is the computer description. On my PC, the computer description is...

I need some help. I've tried the man file, but can't figure it out. How do I search my entire drive for any file containing a string of text? For example, if I wanted to search / for the string "this is a string" in any file, I want it to return to me the names of the files that contain...
