    SSH security failure fix?

    The machine where you sit and type ssh or scp is the client. This is the one where you should edit the .ssh/known_hosts file. BTW, since it is located in your home directory it is owned by you, not the superuser, so you are allowed to edit it. If vi is just showing tildes, try the following...

    SSH security failure fix?

    You still have the old RSA host key cached although the remote machine meanwhile has a new key obviously. To fix this, edit the .ssh/known_hosts file in your home directory as said in the message. In this file, locate the offending key (it is a single text line prefixed fith the remote machine's...

    Win2K Server, OS 9, OS X, and XServe

    This will work. It is similar to what I initially suggested, btw. This method will also funnel the data through a Mac client, although it will not require the intermediate storage on the OS X disc. You will end up having both resorce fork representations on your Windoze (requires double the disc...

    Win2K Server, OS 9, OS X, and XServe

    We have netatalk running on Linux. It creates hidden directories named like .AppleDouble and others to duplicate the resorce fork functionality. As the netatalk source code is available, chances are good that one could get hold of the inner workings of these hidden directories and the structures...

    Win2K Server, OS 9, OS X, and XServe

    Just an idea :) Maybe you could have both CIFS/SMB and AppleTalk active for a while and use that to copy the folders and files from the AppleTalk shares over to the CIFS/SMB shares. This should convert the resource fork representation and the files should be accessable in the CIFS/SMB shares...

    Problems with path and manpath regarding Fink and X11

    Create two text files in your home directory: .bashrc .bash_profile (I assume .bashrc already exists.) Put the following command into .bashrc: . /sw/bin/init.sh (I assume it is already there.) Put the following command into .bash_profile: . ~/.bashrc Hope this helps :)

    Partitioning Without Reformatting

    Have a look: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38890 For quite some time, I'm hunting for a method to resize a partition. I found the FWB Partition Toolkit and read between the lines that it should to be able to do that, but until now I couldn't find anybody who confirmed that...

    Sendmail App

    Postfix comes with a binary named 'sendmail' which simulates the original sendmail's behavior. This is for compatibility reasons because many Un*x components require sendmail. However, the files you would normally find below /etc/mail are the sendmail configuration files. Those are only...

    Cdrecord on OS X w/ xcdroast

    I use Xcdroast on Linux, it is not as fancy as Toast but really powerful. Didn't have a single problem over years. Good to know that it works on OS X as well :)

    Opinions on REALBasic

    A friend of mine is quite successful in writing complex apps in RB. He did some time-critical functions in C which he embedded into his RB programs as plug-ins. Overall, RB seems very powerful and flexible to me. I would use it if I weren't such a C/C++ geek and if I didn't have a commercial Qt...

    brandelf in terminal

    brandelf only works as long as the underlying architecture is the same, e.g. BSD on a ix86 machine can run Linux ix86 ELF binaries. However, you cannot run an ix86 binary on q PowerPC architecture. You need an emulator (VPC) to do so.

    Linux on my iBook?

    Use the md5sum command in Terminal to create the md5 checksum of your downloaded file, then compare it to the according .md5 checksum file. md5sum downloaded.iso >my.md5 diff my.md5 downloaded.md5 If diff doesn't output anything then everything is ok.

    Coercing timespec to time_t

    time() is a POSIX function. There is no struct timespec in POSIX. I assume this is derived from struct tm. If this is the case then I the only reason your code works is that tv_sec is the very first member in struct timespec. Since time() takes a time_t as argument (yes, it does! Definitely! See...
