It's my server, I know I have access. As I mentioned above, I can use the same account and get to it locally (logged in, sitting in from of the computer) or remotely via AppleTalk or SSH. Only with FTP do I get the access denied error. I also tried a few different FTP clients - command line...

OK, the short of it is: -I'm using the built-in FTP server in Mac OS X 10.2 Server -I log in via FTP just fine, but can't view a particular directory (well, several, but 1 that I'm concerned with) - it just gives me "550 Permission Denied." -Permissions are correct and I can access the...

I'm not keen on paying $25 for Brickhouse since all it does is modify ipfw - I can do that myself if I can figure out how to keep Apple from stifling my efforts. Perhaps I'll look into how and when Brickhouse makes it's modifications... they must get around System Preferences somehow... could...

OK, I'm not a total newbie at this, but I'm no guru either. Am I smoking something, or should the last line in the ipfw rules definitely not be: <pre>65535 allow ip from any to any</pre> Doesn't that just allow everything not explicitly disallowed? If so, how do I get rid of that or...

That's pretty odd... I think it's even more odd that there just happens to be a "modem.xs4all.nl" that resolves. Out of curiosity, what other entries do you have in the Machines section?

Yeah, testuser, that's what I was thinking. I didn't add the serves entry because I seemed to remember that bascially screwing things like this up. I really don't see why it's not working for some people... I've tried my proceedure on 5 machines now and it's not been a problem on any of them...

Try adding a: serves ./local entry to the new Machines entry you made. That shouldn't be needed, but I'm not sure why it won't work for you. Also, G. Peretz, if there's a fully qualified domain name that's the same as what you're trying to use, that could be the problem. You...

DTDaemon is the Deletion Tracking Daemon installed with Norton for OS X products. Uninstall Norton (esp. System Works) and you should be fine. It's totally unnecessary to have Norton on X anyway, IMHO. I'd check Symantec's site to see if there's an update. Just killing the process will...

Not to get too off topic, but saying that sounds kinda like saying "RAID Array" - it's just not quite right. TMRC was the Tech Model Railroad Club. It wasn't an MIT lab, though many of it's members later became an integral part of MIT's AI lab. I bring this up only because you claim to be...

vi is a serious text editor with incredible capabilities, but if you're not familiar with it and won't be doing a great deal of editing, I'd suggest sticking with pico. :) To answer your question: 1. Hit "Esc" to make sure you're no longer in insert or some other mode 2. Move the cursor...

Not at my OS X box right now, but I know that I've seen this same problem with a server at work when it's time zone was set incorrectly. Specifically, that machine was set to an east-coast time zone, so even though it's local clock was set to the same time as the rest of the machines sitting...

This can be done pretty easily in NetInfoManager 1. Open it up. 2. Authenticate (click the little lock icon). 3. Go to / machines 4. With machines highlighted, choose "New Subdirectory" from the "Directory" menu 5. Double-click on "new_directory" across from "name" and change it to...

alias sslog "cat /private/var/log/system.log | grep" sslog = Search System Log So, >sslog sendmail give me a quick output of sendmail activity. I do a lot of tweakin to this system, so I need to see log entries quite frequently. Other variations: swlog = Search Web Log...

You can do this easily from the terminal. The command is "ls -lR" (those are both "els" and a *capital* "R") Just navigate to the directory you want to start listing from and type that in - you'll get what you're looking for. "ls -lR /" will list all files on the machine as it starts...

When I set this up, I didn't need to comment anything out. The file you want to edit is, indeed, httpd.conf (it *may* be different in OS X before 10.1.3). It should be located at /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf (since it's in /private, Sherlock will not find it). You'll want to put the...
