    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    I tried putting the AFS mount in my Startup Items (System Preferences -> Accounts) and this works for my workstation, but my iBook dumps the tunnel and share whenever its ip address changes. I havn't decided how to work around this yet. Any ideas?

    automatic SMTP server selection?

    The SMTP server is not necessarily insecure. Many SMTP servers use user based authentication. Thats how things work where I go to school; if you authenticate to the SMTP server with a user name and password you can send email from any address. This is how I send mail from my cableco.com account...

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    As long as your guest user has write permissions to the share I don't see why publishing a link like that would not work.

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    Here is what I have so far. I made a StartupItems entry to create the ssh tunnel to the server machine. You can grab the script and plist from here (http://129.81.137.53/~matt/securefs/). I also made an entry to automount the share with NetInfo Manager. It is in /mounts and has the following...

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    I'm not using Rendezous but the server has a static ip and i have a entry for it in /etc/hosts. I imagine that would accomplish the same thing. I tried giving the -fqdn both my ip and my hostname as parameters, but it didn't like that. I suppose I could write a quick script to create the ssh...

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    I have AFPd setup on my Linux server and can connect to it from both of my mac over either an unencrypted connection or a manually created ssh tunnel. I would like to be able to use a feature in OS X that automatically creates the tunnel for the connection (when using "Connect to Server" for...

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    I'll read up on AFP, as long as it uses a constant port number it should be able to work through an ssh tunnel

    Secure file sharing between OS X and Linux

    I'd like to set up some sort of file sharing facility to keep my notes and classwork, among other things, synced between my iBook and G5 workstation. Optimally, I would like to have the files served on my Linux server to make use of its SCSI RAID Array and Tape Backups. I would also like to keep...

    Using distcc to cross compile on PPC for x86

    The idea is that you use distcc and gcc to compile in your native platform. GCC will compile for whatever architecture you tell it to. I have distcc installed now, using the Darwinports port. Once I test it out with my Gentoo system i'll post the results, maybe write up something simple on it if...

    Using distcc to cross compile on PPC for x86

    I want to use distcc to cross compile software on a PPC machine for a x86 machine. Specifically to use my G5 to help compile software for my much slower Gentoo laptop. I havn't had much luck Googling for anything on this topic, everyone seems to want to compile PPC code on x86 machines...
