Well, I didn't get this error, and in fact it seems sshd generates a key automatically. But I suppose it doesn't hurt. :) Anyway to generate /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key for use with ssh2 use ssh-keygen -d

To enable sshd just add the line SSHSERVER=-YES- to /etc/hostconfig. This is where you should've enabled telnet support as well (or in System Preferences, which edits this file for you)

It's not possible. It's not really a mode but the way the code was compiled.

Not entirely certain but it could be a hardware incompatibility. Do you have any 3rd party hardware in your mac? (other than ram and hd). Try removing it.

That lock button in the window probably won't happen since it's not that easy to get full privileges. The programs that let you do this startup with root privileges and then (hopefully) disable them until you press that lock icon. IMO the fewer applications that does this the better (it's a...

The cursor can move much faster in OS X if you want it. It's one of the big pluses IMO since the cursor in OS 9 was really to slow. Now I don't even have it on the fastest setting. However to answer the original question, I believe it's just as stable. There's a little resistance before it...

The file system uses the same security system as every other UNIX and is just as secure. The OS is harder to know though. It all boils down to how many of the programs that run with full priveliges have bugs, or whether the kernel has. Since OS X is still in development there's bound to be some...

Depends on what you do. The new finder for example is much faster than the old, since it's all in one window. Program launching is slower, possibly because of debugging code still in place. Classic applications will probably never be faster than in OS 9, since they are in fact still running...

I don't have an MP Mac but OS X supports full symmetric multiprocessing. That means it uses both processors att full capasity in all programs (when needed). It should be pointed out that a program can't run on two processors if it doesn't have at least two threads though. But even in...

You don't have to login as root. An administrator is enough. However, they will still be able to see all your files if they want to. To disable that: Click the Users button in the finder window. Select your directory. Open the inspector (Command-I) Select sharing tab. Choose none on...

this is because OmniGroup set the permissions wrong on the file. If you look at all the other applications in that dir with the inspector (Sharing tab) you see that the admin group (all administrators) have write access to them, and thus can delete them. With OmniWeb only the owner (ie root)...
