Haxial has just recently released Remote Admin Tool , and it has both mac/win versions out...dunno about comparison to other such utilities, but it's lightweight and at least looks promising..

Hum, so true...either it's bad creation or modification date or bundle-bit wrongly set...If I boot in OS 9 and run said disc doctor, it tells me there are literally thousands of these errors...and besides, those errors are what fsck/DiskUtility is for:)

Actually, I'm not partial to any of mentioned utilities, the only thing I'm now sure is that I wont use norton in OS X...even though the culprit causing panics and so on has been named:) I'll stick with DW to heal the directory:) Ed, you have a point in there, I remember how hard it was for...

rgbrock1, do a little test, obtain a copy of norton and TTP or Plusoptimizer from somewhere, and runt TTP/Plusoptimizer first, then run Speed Disk and check the disk, mine reported severe fragmentation on disk which was just minutes ago "defragmented" by TTP... no, I'm not quoting this from...

JetosX, prolly true, but still that 'H' works in iTunes:) and go on with that how-to, it sounds intriguing...

Humm, I'd suggest a logout script for the shell they are using, in bash its .bash_logout dunno about others, and it's propably quite easy to device...

there are specific updates you need to install...I believe this proves to be useful, even if it's for 10.1.5: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106713

Russ, that's why I have OS 9 installed...for use with DiskWarrior and Norton...Although due to some physlabs I'm forced to install Maple 7 soon...

The visualizer is actually called GForce from http://www.55ware.com/ nad you can also get Whitecap for iTunes from the site...it's pretty damn cool! Also, pressing 'H' brings on more help.

you propably have read this page many times, but: http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/installation.html

what does that do?

I don't think so...I would go the hard way of back up and reformat redefining the partitions...

this should prove somewhat useful on JAR: http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/course/week4/16.7.html Oh, simply go to terminal and type 'man jar' ...
