Since you are just starting a new DNS server you might want to take a look at djbdns: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html This is a BIND replacement suite that is much more secure than the traditional BIND installation. The setup is fairly easy (although I can not guarantee it runs on OSX - I...

I actually got a wild hair a coupla months ago after I was trying to figure out what to do with this ol' PC I salvaged from someones trash and installed Slackware Linux on it. I had never touched Linux before - but I have learned so much UNIX over the past year from learning OS X that it all...

Unfortunately - OS X does not include the familiar wake/sleep Energy features of previous system incarnations - and as such there really isn't a method of "starting up" a computer at a specified time. Now that being said - I have actually managed a workable solution - but it requires a 2nd...

The Finder flags, creation dates, file types, and file creators are IN ALL THE F***ING BACKUPS I HAVE MADE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not vouch for icon location as I rarely use icon view.

yes - psync is def hfs/osx compatible. I have used it for over 6 months - backing up system disk each night. Copy is completely bootable.

thnx strobe - thats a definition I can get my head around....now I understand BTW - great icon - haven't seen those in years.

Yes - that does piss me off too - I already avoid VT as much as possible since they changed and you have to jump through hoops to get stuff. Now I just knocked them down one more notch!

No good here - G4/400 (AGP) Thought it might be the "permissions" thing that Roxio is famous for - but I installed as root and still no go...

I am playing around a little with the hacked tar called "hfstar" to implement a backup strategy. I noticed in the hfstar help it indicates: I have a vague understanding of POSIX - but don't really know what it is. Can someone give me a brief description of POSIX and how it affects me and my...

didde - a few more details ... curl is probably your best bet. In the terminal - change directories to where you want the file downloaded: cd /location/of/download/dir then simply issue the curl cmd with the url of your download - like such: curl -O http://file/to/download covers...

I second those two recommendations - I regularly mirror my main drive each night to another drive as a bootable backup using psync - works great - and the syntax is easy enough for anyone. psync -d /source-volume /dest-volume those could of course be directories also. The -d option...

It is quite possible to do more than one ip on the same nic - ala virtual ips. I just discovered this the other day while messing with my linux box and wondered if it was also possible in OS X. Turns out it is - the syntax is a little different - but still works. See this page for the details...

Definitely a lot more freezes and crashes with 10.2.1!

I wrestled with this same problem last week for several days. Never did get it to work. Sorry don't have better answer - it appears OS X implementation of Python is weak. On top of that attempting to fix th problems installing Python manually (as you did) did not solve the problem. BTW - I...

Without a doubt - WebConfidential!!!!! I have relied on it for years...

Yes - be prepared for a little grief if you are behind a router. I spent the better part of a week attempting to get ftp to work behind a LinkSys router.....sometimes it would owrk and sometimes not....it was completely dependent on what OS and what software client the incoming requests were...

Every time I launch a Quicktime movie - the QT player (5.0.2) launches, plays about 2 secs of video, then the video stops and the audio continues, eventually the video starts playing again about 5 secs later. Happens on all movies, all types, etc. Has anyone else seen this problem or know a...

Cool thnx - I have lots of 'dot' files in my home dir as I have done a great deal of customizing. Not sure what each one is so I am a little leary of willy nilly deleting.

I wish someone would port the G-Force itunes /standalone to a screensaver. The state of OS X screensavers is abyssmal and amatuerish (IMHO). About the only decent one out is called Plasma....and I don't even think you can d/l it anymore.

thnx for the info - wonder why it shows up when I am not even using Sorenson at teh moment. Is it a problem - or just a warning...
