Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me build a script to import the Client Control Database (CCD) from MacAdministrator 3.0 into Mac OS X Server 10.3. The CCD is stored in directories of XML files. Each XML file is named after the user's login name. This is an example of one of...

While doing research on making restore images for Mac OS X, I decided to take a look at how Apple is currently doing it. Our dept. just got some of the new 12" PB in so I poked around some and came up with some interesting results. edit: I can't turn off HTML code in my post, so it tries to...

I think that is the first deccent explanation I've heard. *Sigh* Time to start backing up my 60GB worth of data....

ARG!!!! I could just scream in frustration! I was able to load 10.2 on a PB G4 w/o a problem, but when I try and load in on my 'server' (a Rev C. 266MHz iMac upgraded w/ 384 MB RAM and a 60 GB HD) it tells me that my OS X partition is not within the first 8 GB of my drive. My had drive is...

How?

Do to the fact that my graphics card is built on to my motherboard, I have no hope for upgrading to...

ARG! I got a 10.1 (5G64) update CD, co I wiped my OS X partion, reinstalled 10.0 and immediantly updated it to 10.1. To get my smb/cifs shares back up, I reinstalled samba 2.2.1a from http://xamba.sourceforge.net. It installed find, but I am unable to connect. When running "top" from a...

I have very little programming experience (we're talking B.A.S.I.C. in 4th grade) but I would love to start learning how to program for OS X. I'm very computer savvy (I do tech support for a major NON-AOL ISP) and would like to know where to start. I already know how to compile source from the...

Revised instructions: Install the OS X Developer Tools XFree86 XFree86 runs on Darwin, but not in Aqua. Just installing this, you can run it if you exit aqua (login as >console at the OS X login screen) and login to Darwin as root. Also, you need to create a .cshrc file in root's home...

Some people say 4K78 is GM, but wincent.org says different http://wincent.org/transitional/4K78.php Any input? Skinlayers

When I try to enable root access in NetInfo Manager I get a "NetInfo Error - NetInfo write failed! (Permission denied!)" Any ideas?

Do any of these run from the command line? The reason I need a command line version (Which I know Napster won't) is so I can telnet into my OS X box at home and run it.
