Ok, life was good until you mentioned SMB. =) Now I'm lost again. I had everything set up and working perfectly for Mac OS X to Mac OS X serving. Then I added the SMB configuration you mentioned, which I had completely overlooked. I logged in from a Windows 95 machine and copied a file...

HOW-TO: Make the Shared directory behave as a truly shared directory. Many users wish to be able to collaborate with their fellow users by sharing files hosted on a central workstation or server. With Mac OS X this isn't as easy as it may sound due to multi-user permission safeguards. This...

Bugger, completely left off the umask change in the /etc/rc document. Will rework that in.

After all my reading today (see above) I was considering providing a HOW-TO. I'd appreciate any feedback on the following draft... HOW-TO: Make the Shared directory behave as a truly shared directory. Many users wish to be able to collaborate with their fellow users by sharing files hosted...

How can I get the OS X GUI to make files (for whichever user is currently logged in or connected thru file sharing) which are group read/writable? This seems to have been touched upon in other areas, but the relevant answering posts are no longer extant. =( Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, when I executed your suggestion: sudo -s echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/rc" >> /etc/csh.cshrc echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/login" >> /etc/csh.login echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/logout" >> /etc/csh.logout exit ...it didn't seem to solve the path problem and...

I'm attempting to use pure-ftpd's virtual users feature. But I'm running into trouble with pure-pw. Specifically, the command can't normally be found by the shell. When I explicitly call it (/usr/local/bin/pure-pw) it does run, so I'm confused and concerned I've whacked my installation somehow...

Would also just add that in gatorparrots original HOWTO here, the instruction... kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid` ...is only necessary (or possible, for that matter) if an FTP server is currently active (turned on in Sharing Preferences. I had the FTP service off, and was stumped for the...

I've just downloaded the source and I'll let you know. There does appears to be a makefile for OSX, so I'm hopeful it won't be too difficult. Hopefully will be soon, perhaps this weekend, perhpas next.

If phpMyAdmin is installed on the Linux machine then your chore is ridiculously simple, as you can simply send your mySQL dump text file to the server thru the phpMyAdmin web interface and it will create the database for you. Haven't done this in a while, but unless I'm delerious, it's that...

Ok, so it seems that the Sharing preference panel FTP Access button simply toggles the "disable" line in /etc/xinetd.d/ftp file as follows: FTP service off, line would read... disable = yes or FTP service on, line would read... disable = no So, no matter what FTP...

Swizcore mentioned: "7. Johnny can now access your system via any FTP protocol. But with this setup he only has access to his user directory-which should be fine for most users just wanting to share files." But this isn't the case. Sure, Johnny will start his FTP session in his home...

G. Peretz: You are the man. =) Cabbage: I think you may be referring to the FTP daemon included with Mac OS X Server 10.2, though I'm not sure. The daemon included with my Mac OS X 10.2.3 (non-server) is lukemftpd which, while I'm sure it's a great piece of work in and of itself, isn't...

I'm considering installing pure-fptd based on your recommendations and my own frustration. I'd like an exit strategy, though. What would be involved in getting rid of pure-ftpd if it's installed as you describe in the post above?
