I've got a problem with startup. It goes through its startup routines, and then when it goes to display the login window it goes to a blue screen with a pointer. waiting doesn't yield a login display - it pretty much never comes up just stays there. i've tried a clean reinstall - configured...

okay got it - it's working now. it won't acknowledge the changes in the crontab until you log out and back in again. is there anyway to force it to update/reload besides logging in and out? Thanks EMH

thanks for your quick response. i tried everything you suggested, but still no results. [USS-Voyager-NCC-74656:~] mthomson% ps -ax |grep cron 321 ?? Ss 0:00.03 cron 507 std UV+ 0:00.12 grep cron so it looks like grep is running. set up the script as you instructed and...

First time using CRON - downloaded Cronnix and setup cron task to run. Nothing happened when the set time rolled around. Found some documentation - suggested checking process to see if Cron was running. Does not appear to be. How do I enable cron? I'm running 10.2.1. Is this yet another...

okay now i've seen some where the numbers are way off - not just 1 digit, but potentially 40 or 50... I dunno why its screwy? I've checked the drive diagnostics, and everything is fine. Still no response from Apple. Anyone else got any ideas? Perhaps even an idea to auto-reset the correct...

I had the same problem - I did what you suggested with the Path and that fixed the 'Command Not Found' error. But now it does this when trying to run Mysql dyld: ./bin/mysql Undefined symbols: ./bin/mysql undefined reference to _BC expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib...

I've since discovered that it is changing the id less 1 - so a user who's id is 1035 might become 1034 effectively changing his folders ownership to the user account prior to his.

I'm running 3x OSX Servers with OSX Server (unlimited) on them. All current versions, all patched up-to-date. I've had a problem for some time now, where student accounts change owners by themselves. For instance an account for bsmith (id=2686) might be created. At some point later down...

Thanks - i'm sorta making progress now - is there any way in Perl to copy an entire directory - files and folders. I can Use FILE::Copy to copy individual files, but i want to copy the entire Library folder to a user account from a hidden default setup. Copying it from a shell script works...

Okay so how do I get perl to run a shell script then? i could probably manage with that. I've tried getting the perl script to build a shell script on the fly to configure the user account, and the shell script works okay, but I haven't been able to get the perl module to execute it so far...

can someone please help? i've got a perl script which connects into the login interface via -login hook - a user authenticates to the network volume via netinfo and the script captures the user logging in and their information from the netinfo system. i then want to check whether a local...

I know this is a known problem, but has anyone got a solution to it - I haven't been able to find one on here yet. All my application icons have changed to folders and the applications are showing as folders with all their program resources as the contents. Heeeellllpp!:eek:

Mine's packed up - worked fine for a while, then would just not work at all. Reinstalling fixed it a couple of times, but now will not go at all. Unplugging and replugging the cradle does not fix it either. Anyone got a solution? :confused:

I've found a bizarre problem with file permissions on my OSX server. For no apparent reason, the owners of folders/files are changing to a numerical id. For instance: drwxr-xr-x 11 psharman LANG_Tut 330 Feb 1 15:39 psharman turns itself into drwxr-xr-x 11 170 LANG_Tut...

I can't empty the wastebin on the desktop - it keeps saying 'insufficient privileges'. I can't remove the files from the bin either - it just recopys them. And I can't change the privileges. Where is the trash stored on the drive? Is there a way to empty it from the terminal using su...

hi I hope someone from Apple reads this. Can you please change the Server Admin module to allow you to select user accounts by searching the comments field (a bit like you can in Macintosh Manager 2). I have a large number of accounts and I want to delete specific groups of them, but I...

has anyone got any sample code that shows how to restore preferences when the application first runs, and how to save those preferences when the application quits. I've got it working if you press a save or restore button, but i really want it to do it when it starts and quits. thanks...

Does anyone know of an equivalent product for the macintosh that is similar to symantec ghost for the PC? I need to find a solution for distributing builds (eg: software and OS) to large numbers of workstations over a WAN using IP Multicast (not chatty Appletalk!) Thanks in advance.

i've got the same problem. i've checked its using usr/bin/su with "which su" but the privileges say: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 14704 Jan 17 14:58 su it won't let me sudo to change the privileges to the 4555 like you suggested tho... it says: Sorry, sudo must be setuid root...

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is an HTTP-based protocol which runs only over TCP/IP networks. It is designed to replace LPR, Appletalk, and IPX. Apparently Apple has said they will support it but probably not in version 1 of OSX eg v10.0 Does anyone know when it might be supported...
