    Software Update Service on Tiger

    We had this problem because the server was not done downloading all the updates which took it about 8 hours on a T1. Also, there's a change we did to the software update preference file on the client side to include the host.company.dom:PORT and for PORT we used 8088 and made sure the 8088...

    Server Font Manager

    Font Reserve Server. We use it. I absolutely hate Suitcase for the damage it allows people to do by renumbering the fonts. The hybrid of Font Reserve and Suitcase combined is now called Suitcase Fusion. There may be a Suitcase Fusion Server in the future?

    HP Laser Paper Tray 4 & 5 Jaguar

    I am unable to get any of our Macs running Jaguar to print to Hewlett Packard Laser Jet paper trays 4 & 5 even after selecting the trays in the Print Center info setup. I installed GIMP 4.2.5 and that doesn't help either. I have also downloaded the MAC OS X driver installer from the HP website...

    Tape Backup for XServer

    Need a library (more than one 100 gig tape) I use Qualstar 4440 with AIT 2 drive inside (qualstar.com) and Restrospect Server (Dantz.com) although you may buy the AIT 2 drive separate from the library in its own firewire enclosure made by Lacie (microwarehouse.com) for about $1,300 (03/2003)

    Help: iMac has 10% packet loss...I think its the ethernet card

    I saw a blue and white G3 desktop Mac with crushed pins in the RJ45 port and it exhibited interrupted network access by the normal vibration of the power suppy/hard drive/CD. Not until i used a very precise set of electronics pliers to pull the pins forward at a better angle did the problem stop.

    New Xserve - Speed Bump and RAID

    I just found out the fiber channel card is an LSI 929 and that is only designed for use with the XRaid product, meaning I won't be able to use it for my Data Direct Networks EV5000 Raid. I'm told that LSI (Metastor)/storagetek is involved in providing Apple the Fiber Channel chips. The...

    Mounting OSX Drive on Linux on LAN

    Bravo on the Suse 8 firewall. Tell me, how many desktops do you have on the inside network (1-1,000) ? Is it stable?

    Using PC with OSX Server

    good question, I've been screaming at employees for years warning them this would happen some day, that some day we would have to rename hundreds of thousands of files. Now it's MY problem. Isn't that great.

    Replace Active Directory with XServe

    Who here has enough experience here to speak with authority about OS X Server as an alternative to Active Directory for those of us who wish to shutdown our Windows 2000 forest and install XServers? Points of discussion: DNS DHCP Users (Win2K, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X) Printers Shares

    New Xserve - Speed Bump and RAID

    I am shutting down our Windows 2000 forest and have spec'd a new model XServe to replace the HP NetServer LH3000r as the main server for the company. Once this RAID product came out I could finally take Apple seriously. What impressed me was that they bothered to already update the XServe with...

    Mac OS X 10.2.4 - merged

    What about the rumor that your IP is sent to Apple following the update? Who would care if you're legal and your update came from the Software Update anyway, they had your IP when you downloaded.
