I have XDarwin running on my iMac running 10.1.3, but does anyone know of an OS X-native X server? It would be nice to serve Unix apps from my iMac to Sun workstations. :-)

Thanks, it works like a charm. :-)

It's not too difficult to get version info for Unix daemons (httpd, sshd, ssld) from the command line. But what about the OS itself? Is there a way to get the OS X version or the Darwin version from the command line? I'm sure there must be...

Go here: http://www.osxvnc.com/ You can get the source at the same site if you're into that sort of thing.

Does anyone know of an OS X-native VNC client? It's totally easy to find a VNC server for OS X, but I really need the client. I'd like to be able to administer our NT box at work from my apartment, and VNC would be a nice way to do it. I've got the OS 9 version of VNC viewer running on my...

I guess what I find difficult to explain is that I have two installations of OS X 10.1.2, one a G4 and one an iMac, both with identical versions of ssh. The installation works fine on the G4; it's a bit iffy on the iMac. The only problem on the iMac is this necessity of stopping and restarting...

I haven't noticed any problems logging in via ssh when no one is logged in on the console. Normally I am logged in locally, but there doesn't seem to be any difference with ssh whether a user is logged in locally or not.

Well, I can't say I actually figured out what the problem was, but I did finally do what I should have done to begin with, i.e., shut down sshd and start it back up again. Once I did that, the problem went away.

Root can't log in either under sssh or ftp, because I usually keep the root user disabled unless I need it for something. I'm definitely logging in as an account that exists on the system; the same username and password works fine for ftp; but can't get in using ssh. Here's what shows up...

No, the machine is basically completely stock (I started it up for the first time yesterday afternoon). The only thing I've done in /etc is create an ftpchroot file to keep ftp connections confined to the user's home directory. I haven't done anything with .ssh at all, other than back it up (I...

Okay, here's the end of the output from ssh when I try to log in. It seems like everything is working okay until it doesn't accept my password (which I know to be correct): debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is known and matches the RSA host key...

My new G3 iMac arrived yesterday, and it is indeed a sweet machine (although the 1042 X 768 takes some getting used to after the 1600 X 1200 on my 19" monitor attached to the G4). I noticed something weird with ssh on the machine though. I tried connecting via ssh from my G4 (which is also...

I've heard good things about TinkerTool (do you have a URL where I can get it?), but in all honesty, I can't imagine it would be too much easier than just editing the property list.

I've always thought that the only way to get a partially transparent terminal window was to go to the command line: you know, "defaults write com.apple.terminal TerminalOpaqueness 0.85," or whatever it is. Then I discovered in OS X 10.1, that when you change the color of terminal windows, you...

The way I got it back was to go to the FontCollections folder in the ~/Library folder, and delete the font collection I had just made. That cleared the problem up. On the other hand, I don't know why creating a font collection would make the Cocoa font panel disappear. I'll have to do a bit more...

Hmm, I just noticed that Vuescan is claimed to support Umax SCSI scanners. I have a SCSI scanner that I've never even bothered to hook up to my G4 running OS X, but maybe I should give it a try...I'll post my results when I get them. G4/500 AGP 1.25 Gig RAM 18 Gig Ultra2 HD, Os X 10.1.1.

From the looks of their website, Soundstudio might be just what I need. There's even an OS X version, which just rocks. I'm assuming that sounds work the same way as fonts, in the sense that stuff in the /Library/Sounds folder is available for all users, and stuff in ~/Library/Sounds works...

Does anyone know how to create custom alert sounds under OS X? I used to really enjoy making my own system alert sounds under OS 9 and earlier. You'd go to the "Monitors and Sound" control panel, and record a new alert sound from the audio unput on the Mac. It was fast and easy. Is there a way...

I sent them an e-mail today about drivers for both Firewire and USB flatbeds. If I get any coherent reply out of them, I'll post it.

Has anyone seen any OS X-native drivers for Umax USB scanners? I can't even find a mention of OS X on Umax's website; it's like they've completely missed the fact that OS X even exists. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, after I ordered my mom a USB scanner, and the software shipped with...
