well, it's not all machines that have Gb ethernet...ex G3's. thats one thing. another point is that it is possible to clone wout erasing your image. there's a brilliant donateware program out called carbon copy cloner (www.bombich.com), where it is optional if you want to erase your disk before...

theoretically you should be able to bootup from a CD, then connect your two macs w FW, and simply copy the entire content from one disc to the other (the bootup CD is to liberate the system files and make it possible for them to be copied). however, i suspect that you would need identical...

I'm administering 10 macs, and they've all got some derivative of mac+something funky. for example Mactastic, Macattack, Imaculate, Macaroni, and my own venerable animal is, of course, called Sysmac (who's the boss! :-)) zeppo

another option is to use sharity from www.obdev.at, a kickass CIFS, SMB etc program (thats even free if you are a student) i would NOT recommend DAVe (although it is possible to share printers with it) - i've been using it for about two years now, and it's always ben an unstable piece of ...

hi there - the guys name is marcel bresink, and his newest paper can be found here: http://www.bresink.de/osx/nis.html - I'd be VERY interested if you get this to work - I'm fighting this thing at the moment, and even though I can see my NISdomain, I can't get it to access the user DB that's...

first problem solved - apparently had a typo in there somewhere - bu still nothing is happening. I read somewhere that it was neceesary to generate a mount map for os X on the server side, since the nis automount is very different from the os X automounter, but i haven't tried it out yet - any...

hi all - i don't know if you know this, but there's an excellent article about mounting nis (and nfs) at: www.bresink.de/osx/nis.html#Versions - at the moment i'm trying this, there's just ONE damn thing that doesn't work for me: after i have set up the lookupd.txt, saved it and getting ready...

hi there, and sorry for the late reply (holiday) - yes, i mean log on as a user on a w2k server. I'm in the process of testing out Sharity, which may mean an end to my problems, but i'm not sure yet (there's also the possibility of DAVE, but they don't go carbon until fall). what i would...

i'm a systemadministrator at an institute with 900 students. most machines are w2k or linux, and all use the same remote logon script to access their individual drives (placed on a smb1 server). my task is to change the localhost logon on osX to one that can automatically call up the roaming...
