I am the only person that uses my powerbook but I have made several accounts for different situations. As an admin, shouldn't I be able to look into and Read/Write to ANY folder for Any user non-admin ? Maybe I need to fix permissions, which I am about to do... but want to make sure I...

Pixlet is kinda sorta important to me.. I really like high quality video. (Is that a lame reason?) I can't see how Expose wouldn't be tasking on my Mac already.. Those are the two main features, anyway. I'm semi trying to find an excuse to buy a new Mac. Most graphic intense...

Got it when it was the latest and the greatest. Obviously it is no longer either of those. I'm really excited about Panther, and I'm Especially excited about Expose and Pixlet. I have read enough to know that niether of these will run particularly well on my fairly aged 550mhz G4...

Is there an app that will let me know what applications at any given time are using the internet? What port they are using is not necessarily important to me, just to know if "this app" or "that app" is connecting to the internet in some way shape or form. Want to know if something I don't...

I have no idea how to run a Perl app in OS X? Or any OS for that matter.. Anybody help me? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out how to use grep to search a single file or multiple files for any string that is strictly 4 characters long. The file would either be a list, containing one word per line, or it would be out of a paragraph. How can I tell grep to extract all 4 digit words or numbers?

How can I set up a script to run upon login/logoff. Or is this not possible?

Still, though, can I safely delete these files or remove lines from them without messing something up? I don't want them to be gone forever but I want to delete them when certain logins are recorded.

Simply put, I don't want other people in my family knowing who's connecting to my server. The legitimacy is that both myself (the host) and my friend (the person who will be connecting) don't want anyone ever knowing who is connecting. It's a paranoia/security thing that we're both concerned...

Is there a way that I can set it up so that each of my users have their own seperate preferences? Specifically, I'm the only one in the house who uses remote access, and I don't want it to be on when anyone other than me is logged in using the computer. So when I log off I want terminal access...

Ok guys. I have a file that I want to be able to frequently edit and change, from any terminal i'm at, like at school or work. Right now I have terminal access turned on and I use putty inh windows from my other computer to get into my server here and edit the file. I use just pico...

I just want to be able to see things like my instant messaging windows in the background without having to bring them to foreground to see what people are saying. LIke while working in IE.

Ok. I don't know OSX or Unix for anything but I know something I want to do and I'm hoping somebody knows a way to do it. There are two users on my computer. I want to set it up so that if one user deletes the other (they are both administrators), the files that they have will be completely...
