    /usr/share/tcsh is a Jaguar (OS X 10.2; Darwin 6.0 contrivance). They are the example configurations that should have been the default, shipping configuration. gatorparrots% ls /usr/share/tcsh/examples/ total 44 0 drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 374 Jan 24 13:04 ./ 0 drwxr-xr-x...

    [HOW TO] Preserve a custom shell $PATH after logout.

    Here is a standard way of adding to your PATH: echo 'setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/local/bin:/Developer/Tools:/some/other/path"' >> ~/.tcshrc source ~/.tcshrc to have it effective immediately. You can add it manually with a text editor if you like. As an alternative, you could choose to add it...

    Here's how to restore your tcsh settings to the default (actually, a better condition than the default): sudo -s echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/rc" > ~/.tcshrc echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/login" > ~/.login echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/logout" > ~/.logout exit source...

    No guest read-access to forums?

    It definitely limits exposure to limit guest access to threads and it prevents much of the site content from being indexed by spiders. It would definitely benefit the site to allow guest read-access for forums (although the Lounge and other such forums could be kept members-only).

    [HOW TO] Rename Harddisk!

    Spaces don't really matter. It's only a volume label. UNIX path-name-savvy installers should escape the spaces with one of the techniques available. Classic Mac installers don't care about spaces and will just use Mac OS X: as the initial part of the path. At any rate, here's how to rename your...

    http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/darwin/faq.html Yes, FreeBSD is the reference platform for OS X, but the kernels are vastly different (OS X uses the Mach kernel). I think kernel extensions and kernel drivers are highly specialized and tuned to particular operating systems --...

    Why don't you just run Console.app, have it look at the apache access log (/var/log/httpd/access_log)? I run the Console application at all times and check in on things periodically with my web, mail, irc, and ftp servers.

    FTP clients that will resume????

    Most FTP clients worth their salt support resumed uploads and downloads. Fetch also supports remote to remote transfers (also with resume), so it fits the bill. RBrowser Lite is also one of the few graphical Mac OS X FTP client to support remote to remote transfers -- and it's free (although...

    selectively revealing invisible folders

    Because the .hidden file is only for hiding documents and directories placed on the root level of the boot volume. You wil have to make use of one of the other techniques in the HOWTO thread to make the items you want visible at the Finder level.
