Yes. Did you change your lookup order or do anything nonstandard in your configuration that may be trumping your lookup for loopbacks?

localhost or 127.0.0.1 are both valid loopback references. If you are having a problem with name resolution, the IP address should always work.

You must have a special configuration, because my root-owned files open as read-only (the little pencil icon in the upper left corner has a slash through it). If you try to edit the file, BBEdit gives a warning dialog box: The document "httpd.conf" couldn't be unlocked because it is owned by...

If it's on the root of your boot disk (/), you can hide it from the Finder by adding it to /.hidden. If you have the Developer Tools, you can change it's Finder flag to make it invisible. You can rename the folder from folder to .foldername to make it invisible to the Finder. Or there...

To edit a root-owned file such as /etc/iftab, you have to open BBEdit as root, otherwise you cannot save the file (it will open as read-only). sudo -b /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/Current/Support/LaunchCFMApp '/Applications/BBEdit Lite 6.1/BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS X'

No, you wouldn't want to do that. Keep the caches and virtual memory systems widely separated. Put the Photoshop VM on separate scratch disks/partitions than the system swap files. Both like wide open HD space, but the system is more graceful with its 80MB page files, compared to Photoshop's...

To run the command manually in the Terminal, you have to do so as root: sudo ifconfig en0 mtu 1454 If this works, you know that you can add it to the StartupItem to have it run at every boot. Did you try to edit /etc/iftab manually with pico? sudo pico /etc/iftab? If that doesn't stick...

Try adding this line to "/Library/StartupItems/BroadbandOptimizer/BroadbandOptimizer" (using pico or BBEdit Lite so as to preserve the plain text file format and UNIX line endings): /sbin/ifconfig alias 'en0 mtu 1454' If that doesn't work, add this line instead: echo 'en0 mtu 1454' >>...

/etc/iftab In order to avoid editing a system file that will probably get blown away by the next update from Apple, I recommend doing it in a StartupItem instead. Download BroadbandOptimizer and add it to their startup script. This will have the side benefit of optimizing your connection...

Imagine the possibilites of a Magic Packet passsed from a CGI script. Still, you're better off leaving any kind of server set not to sleep. It's just asking for trouble and makes your server inaccessible when it's asleep.

Look in the HOWTO forum. There you'll find information on how to set up sendmail or postfix (for SMTP) and qpopper (for POP3). I recommend a combination of webmin/Qmail/qpopper for easily configuring and maintaining SMTP & POP3 servers on your OS X system. Directions for webmin installation...

That's not actually true. It is very possible (and normal) to repair permissions on the system disk while booted from that system. What is not possible is to verify or repair a disk while booted off of the system it contains. That requires booting from another drive or CD. Perhaps you confused...

Those directories are related to Classic, which you may or may not be running. I would hide dotfiles if you just want to make sure no one sees any .DS_Store files or .Trashes.

Did you try renaming the file extension of the image to .iso or .toast?

Create your files and then use the terminal to mv them from their existing name to .name

Indeed, you would be best off if you hide the various Mac specific files from Windows users: hide dot files = yes veto files = Temporary Items/Desktop */TheFindByContentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/Network */

Thank you. That fixed the login problem. It is a bit disconcerting to see all of the 'G. Peretz' listings in the HOWTO & FAQ forum as the thread starter, then opening the threads themselves seeing gatorparrots in the author field. Ah well, I suppose I can live with it. Thanks again!
