Thanks for the FAQ, it helped me figure out that I needed X11 SDK to get fink to install system-xfree. My question, is how do I customize my xterms default background, font, etc. colors? Also, can I set transparency like I can for Terminal? Ideally, I'd like to get the my xterms to look the...

When running the Repair Permissions tool in Disk Utility (10.2.3), I get a permissions error that won't go away. I've run the repair tool, and it is always there, and I've booted from the 10.2 install CD and run the tool, with no luck. Here is what is reported: 2003-01-03 00:28:19 -0800 -...

I tried it and it works. You can set the server sting to nothing, and you no longer report a computer name, only a netbios name. Thanks for everybody's help. Anybody with any other cool things we can do via tha smb.conf file? Let me know!

Thanks for the info. However, can I set the server string to nothing? Will using something like this... server string = (this is left blank) ...cause it to not report a description? I would only like to have the netbios name reported, and since I know you can leave that string blank...

Thanks anarchie! This makes sense to me (i have some unix sense). However, what if I want no computer description? I would like my Mac OS X SMB server to identify itself by its hostname only "supermac", instead of "Computer Description (hostename)". I know this is possible, since in...

When I view computers in my workgroup on my pc, my mac is reported as "Samba 2.2.3a (supermac)". I know that "supermac" is the machine name I set in the System Preferences Sharing pane, but "Samba 2.2.3a" that appears before it is the computer description. On my PC, the computer description is...

I need some help. I've tried the man file, but can't figure it out. How do I search my entire drive for any file containing a string of text? For example, if I wanted to search / for the string "this is a string" in any file, I want it to return to me the names of the files that contain...

Oops... Figured out the problem (personal id10t error) Nevermind. Blackbox is SWEET!

I am trying to get blackbox running, but i'm having issues. I have created a file called .xinitrc in my home directory with what I think to be the proper contents pointing to blackbox. But when I launch XDarwin, it quits. If I remove the .xinitrc file, the server starts up fine running the...

Or I would. But your missing the point. Yes I would like to be able to turn on jounaling via a button, but I'd like to do it with Disk Utility. I'm also interested in this because, like I said, I wonder if there is some sort of plugin structure for Disk Utility, or if they are entirely...

Just wondering, since the 10.2.2 Server version of Disk Utility allows the use of a button to turn journaling on and off, can you copy that specific version of Disk Utility to a regular 10.2.2 Client and access the same button? Or is there some specific "plugin" somewhere that turns on that...

MacLuv... I saw the same thing regarding the default search page. Does anyone know what text file contains the settings for the default homepage and the default search page? You can set the homepage in the Internet System Preference, but not the search page. I'd like to also find out where...

Do you have a copy of OS 9 installed on the drive currently, or just OS X? If formatted your drive before installing 10.2, you might not have installed the OS 9 driver on the disk. This prevents the disk from being visible to any program in OS 9 except Drive Setup. Try booting off of an OS 9...

StarfleetX, what are those cool apps running in the menu bar? Looks like a load monitor and a network monitor. I want those!

This is a strange question but... I'm wondering if anybody out there has the Mac OS X Pubic Beta CD. I'd be interested to know what the part number (listed under "Public Beta" on the front of the CD) is. I'm gonna buy one (to collect) but want to be sure this is a US copy of the CD (were...

Thanks vertigo, btoneill... Btoneill, i tried your method, but it doesnt seem to work. I performed the find command on my documents directory, and it listed two files. I then created a new text file in vi, saved it, and ran the command again, it didn't show up. Then I modified the file via...

Thanks deraven, that works great! I tried it out and it outputs perfectly. Since your are so smart, how would I compare two outputs for differences? So if I ran that command on the same directory on two different occassions, what command would I use to compare the two? Thanks to testuser as...

Ok, I know people will ask "why would you want to do this?" But I'm curious... Is there a command I can run that if given a directory name as a starting point, will print a sort of heirarchical (probably spelled that wrong) listing of that directory, and every child directory within? I am...

Diagnosing kernel panics has been a slight mystery to me. I know all the troubleshooting steps (I am Apple authorized), but I'd really like to be able to read and understand all of the text that appears on screen when a kernel panic happens. For example, I've diagnosed several towers with...

Ok, so I'm a huge hockey fan, and on NHL.com they recently switched from streaming games in RealPlayer to WMP. I can stream and listen to the games just fine on my PC (yuk), but when ever I try to listen on my Mac at work, the stream starts, then just dies. This happens in both 9.2.2 and...
