    Quicktime Question

    if i'm not mistaken, you set this when encoding the movie -- Cleaner, for instance, has this option that you can select before you start encoding -- so, unless i'm totally wrong (but that will be proven quite quickly on this forum ;-)) you're gonna have to re-compress your movie to quicktime...

    Suggestions on OS X e-mail application

    totally agrre -- eudora was, is and will be my favourite email app -- a lot of people object to it because of its outdated UI, but then again, it's the only email app i know where there is never one central window open (as with outlook, entourage, mail) and that's exactly what i like about it --

    backup strategies

    leaving FCP out of the image and installing it manually should work, logically ;-) i haven't tried it though, since i gave up on creating a master image (other applications gave the same errors than FCP, such as Apple Remote Desktop) -- now i just install everything manually -- the only thing i...

    backup strategies

    just for your information: i manage a computerlab as well and naturally i tried out several ways to automate installs as well -- the thing is, however, that it is possible to create bootable copies of a whole setup, but certain features will act strangely -- to give one example, if Final Cut Pro...

    Portscan?

    FINK vs. compiling from scratch

    Most of the Unix apps that i have running required some work and adjustments to the source so i had fink handle that and it does a great job at that -- in only case, my compiling worked out better than fink (so that doesn't really count) -- in all other cases, compiling it myself sometimes asked...

    I just wanted to let everyone know that..

    let me get this right: you're on a dsl connection with planet internet, right? well, i have a subscription with them too and normally you don't need any extra applications, you just have to select PPPoE in System Preferences/Network and fill in your username, password and so on there -- let me...

    Installing iDVD w/o a system restore

    okay, all you have to do is this: create a folder somewhere called 'whatever' and copy all the .dmg files from the six cds to that folder -- as soon as that is done, double click the first dmg file and disk copy will regard the six .dmg files as one disk image and open it accordingly -- after...

    Terminal....

    the missing manual is a great manual for the GUI side of OSX, but stays on the surface when it comes to the terminal. you'd better buy 'OS X Unleashed'. That goes deep into the terminal and unix side of OS X

    iDVD & Office vX permission issue

    hello please forgive me if this has been posted before. I did check the archives but couldn't find anything similar. Here it goes: I run a network of G4s in a school. I recently upgraded every machine to OS X (Client). Every machine has (naturally) one admin account and all the students...

    security hole?

    about the fact that ssh-users can get into other user's folders: all i did was a chmod 700 on every folder in the Users Directory. That way user Jef can't look into user Bob's folder. I 'protected' each and every Folder in the Applications, System and LIbrary directory in the same way but...

    ftp on different port

    after my last post i've been doing some tests and i really have the impression that ftp is not secure under macosx at all. I know as well that ftp is basically never secure on any system, but still. Can someone tell me if the following things are possible: 1. to disable ftp-access through a...

    security hole?

    thanks for the quick reply -- this tip seems to do the trick ;-) still, don't you think it's a bit weird that things like this aren't default -- i mean, i wasn't worried that this could possibly damage my system (since the user was restricted to his own directory anyway) but i thought it a...
