    OS X Client & WebDAV Configuration

    I've got WebDAV up and running smoothly on a test server using OS X client but am running into a bit of an Apache directive issue that I can't quite sort out. On the Web side, I've got things configured as: /maindir - Web access to all /maindir/subdir - Web access to limited users...

    Irritated at iTunes3 Installer

    Not to knock your setup, but if you are using your machine that people are so dependent on, is it a good idea to be using iTunes to suck up nth cycles of your CPU and memory? Just a thought... however, it is a pain to reboot just for an install like that. Cheers.

    Automatic thumbnailer?

    Try W-Nailer (PHP Script) ; does quite a nice job for an on-the-fly thumbnailer. You need to have PHP properly installed with GD support. Cheers.

    Installing PHP

    OS X ships with a non-complete set of features for their version of PHP. As most people probably have already done, hop over to Marc Liyanage's site and grab his prepackaged installer which does wonders for beefing up PHP support. Cheers.

    Timbuktu over SSH (Tutorial)

    Yes, it is. They also just released Vapor 1.0 which is a GUI front end for the whole process outlined above. You need to run SSH Pass key (included) once to set up your environment so that the GUI app will authenticate to the remote server, but once that's done, doing TB2 over Vapor is...

    Timbuktu over SSH (Tutorial)

    [ref:http://www.afp548.com/Articles/security/sshtips.html] One of the nice things about having access to SSH is that you can port-forward a connection through an SSH tunnel and know that your connection is reasonably secure compared to an open data stream. Following the tips given in on...

    OS X & IDE RAID Configuration (Working Tutorial)

    Well, to make a long story short, due to lack of ability to split partitions when RAIDing, I decided to go with multiple partitions on both drives on both buses and using a backup program (tested Retrospect Express and liked how it worked). One nice thing about backup as opposed to pure live...

    Virtual PC 5.0.3

    I use it to VPN into my work network and run Terminal Server to manage my network; granted, it's not the fastest solution, but it works and it beats having to have 2 boxes up and running all the time. Cheers.

    OS X & IDE RAID Configuration (Working Tutorial)

    Interesting. My first guess would be that both drives on a single bus would have been better. I've been running a single drive on the secondary IDE bus along with my DVD/CD-R and haven't had problems yet but I use it primarily as data storage so I never really noticed any speed issues. One...

    OS X & IDE RAID Configuration (Working Tutorial)

    I'd like to get some feedback on success/failure stories for people using OS X built-in RAID. I've recently salvaged my pair of IBM 60GB's from my PC and wanted to see what the techies thought would be the best way to lay them out for OS X RAID would be without having to spend additional...

    PPTP & Airport Base Station

    Looking for a confirmation but I think I read somewhere that the ABS (original model) doesn't support PPTP over a wireless connection... Trying to VPN into my office network using my Vaio going through the ABS. Cheers.

    Broadband Optimizer Updated

    Just reading through the explanation of what BBO did, I just adjusted the five parameters using Terminal listed in the BBO script file: /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65536 > /dev/null /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65536 > /dev/null /usr/sbin/sysctl -w...

    MacOS X Server speed & robustness...

    Can't comment directly on OS X Server, but my pseudo-server running on the OS X client version doing both Web and Carracho running without a hiccup; last time I checked, uptime was about 23 days with reasonable usage. At work, I manage a mini-farm of Windows 2000 servers and while they are...

    gNat, Brickhouse, geeRoute: Router help!!!

    Thanks for the pointer... I'm essentially trying to set up the same thing, only using an Airport connection between DSL modem/ABS and my G4 -> my PCs. Gotta love how Apple trains their store staff as last night, I was told "nope, with Client that's impossible"... Cheers.

    OS X & Airport sharing Internet with PC?

    Well, the problem is that with the first generation of Airports, there was no LAN ethernet port which meant that the only way to connect to the Airport was through a wireless connection. Thus my question on how easy would it be to route traffic through my G4 (incoming from Airport via...

    OS X & Airport sharing Internet with PC?

    Running on a bit of a deadline so just wanted to ask a quick question: My 8MB DSL connection is due for start of service next week and I wanted to see if I could run the following configuration: Wall <-> DSL Modem <-> Airport (1st Gen) < through wireless> G4/Airport card < through built-in...

    SSHD keeps dying on logout...

    Forget the problem... I bit the bullet and followed the instructions given by www.stepwise.com and just recompiled OpenSSH from scratch. So far, everything seems fine which tells me that something must have been corrupted. I just hope this doesn't affect the next round of security updates...

    10.1.3 issues

    Just double-click on the package in /Library/Receipts, I imagine, right? If I'm getting errors trying to reapply the Security Update, any suggestions? Cheers.

    SSHD keeps dying on logout...

    That's what the weird part is... no entries in netinfo.log and the config mirrors my G4 at work with exactly the same setup! Perhaps reinstalling SSHD might be the key but I have no idea how to go about doing that; plus, I'd like to keep OpenSSH in line with Apple's release as much as...

    10.1.3 issues

    Along the same lines, is it possible to reapply an update? Cheers.
