Two things to keep in mind: 1.* Mac OS X will always expect the internet connection to be on the first interface.* If it is not, oddities may ensue. :) 2.* To see if you can swap this around, go into System Preferences and move the second built in ethernet to the top of the list of...

No problem. Should work like a charm. Michael

Does your home ISP service block traffic on port 25? Michael

You could just make it into a managed preference to mount the AFP share at login using the Open Directory MCX settings. Michael

Sure, send this out to the users that need the MCX cache flushed and updated at next login: sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/Resources/MCXCacher -U UserNameHere Hope that helps! Michael

WWDC 2003. The place was a rockin' when that was announced. :) Michael

Its cool. :) I'm very much in favor of using whatever tool you like best, as long as it gets the job done! Michael --- Michael Dhaliwal, ACSA www.district13computing.com

I've never had any trouble with the included server tools. They've gotten me through deployments scaling into the thousands of clients. :) What is it that you don't like about them? Michael --- Michael Dhaliwal, ACSA www.district13computing.com

Tiger's diskutility functionality includes the ability to break a mirrored boot RAID. Just a note, if your going this route with OS and user data on the internal drives, you may want to consider the hardware raid card, so you can still have redundancy on the OS as well as the general file...

Exabyte has some nice units that won't cost a whole lot comparatively. You'll want to account for data growth and you may want to also consider a leasing plan on your tape drive, since that will allow you to get something larger now and upgrade again in a couple years. Seems to be popular...

There are lots of ways to performance tune AFP. About how many simultaneous connections do you have to the AFP server? That can play a large role. Michael

So, why not just assign that as the default permissions for the share on the server? Otherwise, you'd just write a cron tab that runs a shell script that does something like: chmod -R 755 /HardDisk/Users/ocean/ That will change the permissions to be R/W for owner, group, everyone. If you...

Yes, after a system update, the server will need to be rebooted. :) Michael

The student program is great. In all honest, going that first year is what addicted me to go the subsequent years. My first year was huge, since that was the introduction of the G5, last year was the Intel announcement and this year should be equally exciting with Leopard being unleashed. I...

No one's attending? There are lots of folks on here doing some fairly advanced things with Server. This is a great place to get started on the right track fast! :) Michael

Hanging at logout with a network or portable home? Could be the AFP server not releasing the mount point or such. Michael

Well, WGM can be used to dump out the user data, but not the passwords, so you'd have to synchronize those separately. nicl can manipulate the netinfo data. It has a synchronize option that I've never used. :) Michael

Eh. :) What Open Directory is going to get you is domain login, so you login to your machine at loginwindow and use that same credential to get into your email or file shares or any other services you want to build out. Folks find that to be easier than providing machine login and then...
