I have numerous dedicated PC based encoding workstations. We have been contemplating getting Ghost, so that we can create an Image of an optimized system and use it for emergency restore purposes. I do this for my Mac systems all the time using Disk Utility, can I back up XP boxen this way as...

HateEternal chmod -R ugo+rwx /media/big120 that was the command that did the trick. My remote drive is now read writable. I thank you for all you help. I am going to have to do some more reading on iptables. I have restarted other services using /etc/init.d before, so that is something I have...

As I said, I know just enough about the command line to be dangerous. I'm not sure how to check or set permissions ( iassume chmod has something to do with this?), and IP tables is also a new thing to me. I know it exists on my system root@420:~# which iptables /sbin/iptables but so far the...

I finally did get samba working to the point where I could mount the remote drive on my mac, but I only have read access even tho I set it up read/write. I added this to /etc/smb.conf security = user username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [big120] comment = samba server path = /media/big120...

I want to use a *nix flavored fileserver on my all mac network. My network at home consists of 3 macs and up until now, 1 windows 2000 server. It is a 1 gHz amd box with only 128mb's of ram, XP was not really an option nor was it desired. The only reason it had 2000 server on it was because I...

Not sure what you mean by domain based mobile account... but here is my 3¢ worth. First, I use 10.4.5 and ProTools 6.9.2, I never upgraded to 10.4.6 on my production partition. That may be part of your problem, as the latest updates from Apple have in the past broken things with Protools. I...

When my wife traded in her old pc for a new mac mini, I promptly reformatted and repurposed her old machine. It now has windows 2000 advanced server installed, and is configured to share a 200 GB drive on our network. I'll add more drives eventually. I then copied my iPhoto, and iTunes...

well,..um yeah you can, if thats how you roll. As for the issue,.. if you get a new intel imac, you can boot xp and use all your old windows software until you can get the necessary mac equivalents. stizz's law - mentioning piracy in a mac thread is akin to godwin's law and the mention of hitler.

this thread makes me sad

so I get all the way to the Mac Store for my appointment at the genius bar, and without any difficulty, the guy boots my mini up holding down the option key. I stood there dumbfounded. As is always the case, something is broken until you try to show the IT guy. Anyway,..so he suggests I...

I seem to have killed my new Intel Mini. I have not called apple yet, but I may have to. I have a mac that now wont do anything, won't boot target disk mode, wont boot single user, won't boot off system restore disk, wont even bring up the bootcamp loader or allow me to zap the pram. In...

found a work around... boot the mini in target disk mode chain it to the firewire drive with the image on it connect to powerbook, and run disk utility from there. Worked like it was supposed to that way. Cannot figure out why the disk utility on the mini install disk was not working properly.

Disk utility is misbehaving and I don't know what to do. I just got a new mini. I used the system disk that came with it to boot off of, then attached an external firewire drive and made a disk image of the mini's hard drive. Next, I repartitioned the drive, and attempted to restore the image...
