I am experiencing the exact same problem and its frustrating me to no end... Grrrrr! I have used mail for about 2 years now and well, it used to work, now it doesn't move the mail into the junk mailbox... I know I am not doing anything wrong. BSDimwit

Does anyone know of a way or 3rd party software available that will do the following password related things. 1. In many UNIX's, there is a way to set password construction rules... such as all passwords must be at least 8 characters and must have at least 1 non alphabetic character... 2...

Subject says it all...

I guess what I am asking is why aren't you starting them as part of the system startup instead of during your user login. Mac OSX is a UNIX box... Unless you are trying to run a vnc server so that you can remotely get at your desktop, why wouldn't you want these services run during bootup...

You sure can can... add a umask statement to your .cshrc or .profile ... umask 022 is the for the 755 permissions you listed above umask 077 is what you were hoping for. Now this only works when using the shell but there may be a way to set the default permissions of a file when using...

Try username%ppp instead of just username. That did the trick for me.

Check the print quality settings(they might be set to max quality)... Also clue us in as to how your printer is setup, ie. via usb, network, etc. Do you have ghostscript installed? Check out gimp-print.sourceforge.net. They have a nice array of printer drivers that all revolve around the CUPS...

You might want to look into disk quotas too. I am not sure if osX has it built in or not but its not too difficult to use in Freebsd.

Open a terminal. type "cd" you are now in your home dir. type "mkdir bin" you have now created a bin directory. now either use the finder to copy this script into your newly created bin directory or use the cp command in the terminal. If its a shell script, you will probably need to make...

Single User Mode Multi User Mode Not sure what your problem is however...

go find your tcsh and csh executables... are they the same size... if so then they are one in the same shell that has been renamed or symbolically linked. While I am not positive about this, I think that macosx only has tcsh on it and the csh is merely a copy or symbolic link to the tcsh...

and then reformatted it and tried it again with the cli?

Perhaps, on your destination volume, the stuff that didn't change ownership, already existed and the stuff that didn't exist before did infact get touched as root. This could have happened when you tried to initally copy your stuff with the finder. Finder was able to copy some stuff(that you...

The only thing I can think of is that macosx doesn't truly have csh running... they use tcsh instead, whereas your solaris box probably does have REAL csh running. While tcsh is a superset of csh, I am sure there are some minor differences in the way they handle arguments. That being said...

When you copy something as root, root becomes the owner. If you wanted it to preserver the permissions/ownership, then you could have had to tell it to do so like so... sudo cp -rp * /Volumes/hermes The p switch preserves all sorts of stuff like permissions, ownership, access times, etc...

I don't run it but my friend does... They have a mac and pc version that works with each other. If all you want is remote desktop, you can go with VNC, but if you want the file transfer stuff, Timbuktu is a nice addition to your software library.

I got my mac to print to windows shared printer via cups, but I haven't tried it the other way around. Another work around you could try is to use http printing instead of samba. I got that to work with Freebsd and cups without too much trouble. I would definately get the gimp-print package...

in corporate networks, your browser and other various net clients are configured to go through a Proxy to get the to any given site. When you are trying to get telnet, ssh, sftp from the command line...your computer doesn't know how to get to those "Real" addresses from your companies...

1. Encrypt your network thus cutting him off. 2. Go up and ask if he wants to share the bill. If he doesn't, see step 1. If he does, collect the money, then set a password, and then give him the password. You could mess with him all you like, but lets face it. Many of us would take...

If you are running HFS+ then you can defrag all you like. If you are running UFS, there is no need to do it as the filesystem is not setup the same way that ntfs, hfs+, fat32 are. In a nutshell, it may buy you some speed, it may not, the choice is yours. As for file size limits. I have...
