    reading ip adress from script

    here is the final version of the script for a machine running tcp/ip over ppp with a dynamic ip-address. it will create a file on a remote ftp-machine that doesn't mind that it's a script that does the talking, not a real user. here it is: it's very important that NIP only contains...

    reading ip adress from script

    thanx for your explanations. i understand that my active interface is called ppp0. ifconfig ppp0 shows my ipaddress. may be this is because i switched from a ppp-analog-modem connection to adsl? is the prferences.xml the place where the network control panel stores data? if so, i'm just...

    reading ip adress from script

    thanx, i figured out another way to read my ip address. even though it's not very elegant it works fine: i'm connected to the net via adsl. aha cool, ifconfig -au does actually show my ip address, i'll use that instead of reading the system log. what does -au mean? thanx again...

    reading ip adress from script

    thanx for your suggestions, but they don't seem to work for me: 1. /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml doesn't seem to contain my ip-address. i tried the following: cat /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml | perl -e 'while(<>){if(m/\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+/){print;}}' i have...

    reading ip adress from script

    cool. i'll try ans see what fits best into my plan. the plan actually is to automatically post my ip-address to a website after establishing a dsl connection. like this i hope to avoid situations where i wish i knew my ip number when i cannot get my hands on my machine otherwise.

    file system crash, cannot login

    thank you, i felt much better after reading your reply. after all it wasn't that bad. repairing the system was easy and took just about two hours of running the os x installer and then updating to the newest versions. so far i had no side effects. changing userpermissions is a delicate...

    ssh -x and XForwarding into OS X from a Linux Box

    this is february 2002. the problem persists. setting x11forwarding to yes in sshd_conf should suffice, but doesn't work. sshd still crashes immediately upon login unless you explicitly turn X11forwarding off using the -x option. i was looking for a solution but reading this reassures me...
