At the very least you need uptime-mrtg.pl to be executable. If you look at the output of ls -l : -rwxr--r-- 1 botany wheel 80 Dec 6 10:48 connections.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 botany wheel 173 Dec 6 09:40 uptime-mrtg.pl -rwxr--r-- 1 botany wheel 208 Dec 6 09:41 users.pl you can see that...

"Remote Login" allows you to use ssh to open a remote terminal session. In practical terms this means you can open a terminal on your machine from anywhere in the world. To see what it looks like from your own machine you can open a terminal and type: ssh localhost then enter your password...

To add another layer... I run my own mail server on a NetBSD box (a P150 for those who care). I run an IMAP server and connect via Mail.app (or Outlook Express in the bad old days). The beauty part is that I also run a php based webmail server called IMP. The upshot is that since IMAP manages...

Take a look at curl (man curl). It should do what you need. If you need more sophisticated behaviour, expect would be the way to go. It doesn't ship with OSX, but should be very easy to build. hope this helps.... -alex.

I've been looking into this for a while, so I have few data points for you: LAME is an open source mp3 encoder that by many tests and standards out-performs most other encoders for sound quality (including the Fraunhofer and SoundJam encoders) Of course sound quality is a subjective metric by...

The answer to this question really depends on your router: Some can do this and some can't. How it is done will, again, depend on the router. The only home router I have direct experience with is the LinkSYS. In their vocabulary you have to set up a "DMZ" machine. Basically, all outside requests...

You can put 512MB DIMMS in a G3 (B+W or Beige) but they will show up as 256MB, either way, your maximum addressable RAM is 1GIG on a B+W. -alex.

The ideal solution here would be NFS, failing that.... You need the server to be running some kind of sharing protocol, like AFP, SMB, or NFS. These are the ones off the top of my head that allow the kind of volume mounting you seem to be looking for. If your admin is unwilling/unable to...

NetBSD would be just the ticket. It will let you run a full UNIX OS on that old SI. That little box would make a good mail server or even firewall if you can scare up a second ethernet card. And of course what better terminal than a full fledged UNIX box... Check out...

In order to answer the question you _did_ ask, I'll first answer a question you didn't ask: <BR> What is rlogin? <BR> One of the great strengths of a UNIX (or other command line line system) is that all you need is a terminal to access and control the entire system. Back in the early days...

Some other things to check: Are you running the Wacom tablet driver? It causes some random "pauses" Is it centered around a certain time of the day? Especially the wee hours? BSDs run maintenance scripts to clean up log files and so forth. These are set up in /etc/daily /etc/weekly, etc...

better yet, change directories using lcd (local change directory). ftp> lcd ~axela ftp> put OSX.pdf that way you only need one argument. BTW, the absolute path is what makes ftp want a destination as well. A simple filename doesn't have that problem. Two other quick notes, ftp will...

Not to be pedantic, but ftp is an application, albeit one that runs on the command line. It is however, as you said, very fast and built in. Now that that's out of the way... When you turn on the ftp server in System Preferences, It uses the users you create in the Users Preference Pane...

Do you want to create a netinfo authorization domain, or use OSX as an NIS server? That's not really relevant to answering your question, I'm just nosy... Did you try setting NETINFOSERVER to ON in /etc/hostconfig? I would also try manipulating the other NIS and netinfo lines in there...

One other thing: If you're dead set on a graphical ftp client, check out Transmit, Fetch, and Interarchy, any of which can be found at versiontracker.com -alex.

Mac Write is right on. My Beige 233 is purring along with a 500MHz G4, and for $500 it sure beats a new machine. Sure it's not the Dual-800 I use at work, but it's a damn capable machine. Besides, every month I squeeze out of this machine equals innovations in the machine I eventually...

Actually, the Sharing Preference Pane controls the ftp server, not client. The ftp client is accessed on the command line (read: via the terminal). It works much like the shell (cd to change directories; ls to list). The to big commands being: get <filename> and put <filename> You use it...

On many UNICES you can kill a start-up script with a cntrl-c, not sure about X. As to apache, another useful trick is: sudo apachectl configtest which will look for problems in your httpd.conf. I wonder also if the upgrade created a permissions problem; apachectl configtest will alert...

Well, since I never ran X on my original video HW, I can't really comment on the performance increase beyond saying "I'm quite happy." FWIW, This card has worked like a champ from 10.0 on. Between that and the G4 ZIF upgrade, I'm ready to ride this machine right on until the G5s with...
