Fink 0.4.0 is out. I checked, and now rdesktop, the X-based Microsoft Windows Terminal Services client is one of the supported packages. Dominik Hoffmann

I come back every day to check, whether the Unix Focus forum is back. Alas, not yet. Dominik

The answer is: reboot the computer. With Mac OS X being so stable I simply forgot to give that one a try.

I checked "Allow remote login" in the "Sharing" preference panel. While I can log in locally (into the Aqua system) I can't login remotely. Doing an "ssh -l user localhost" at the command line in Terminal and typing in my user password results in an "Permission denied, please try again." I...

I wanted to once again point out the lively thread in Mac OS X System & Software forum about the disappearance of the Mac OS X Unix Focus forum. Most contributors to the thread would like to see the forum reinstated. Please head on over to let your voice be heard. Dominik Hoffmann

I think the key to your problem is XPostFacto (formerly OS X Unsupported Utility). I have OS X running on a PowerMac 7600/120, which runs just fine. Of course the interface is slow, but that's not why I installed X. I want to use it to play with qmail and NFS on it, which is CLI-driven, and...

I am disappointed that after all this feedback from forum users we don't have our Mac OS X Unix Focus forum back. Dominik Hoffmann

I started a thread in the Mac OS X System & Software forum on this subject, which attracted some additional contributors.

In the Site News forum a handful of people have been engaged in an exchange with Admin over the absorption of the Mac OS X - Unix Focus forum into this one. Most would like to see it restored as a separate forum, but could use some more support on this issue. Please join that thread and weigh in...

I find it interesting that all of the gripes come from people who would have preferred retaining the Unix Focus forum. It looks like all the other folks have had no issue with the consolidations. Admin, aren't you afraid that you will have users defect to the OS X - Unix forum of MacNN...

I seriously miss the Mac OS X Unix Focus forum. I found it very useful to have one forum dedicated to everything happening on the command line. I would think that the people delving into the Unix base of Mac OS X and those dealing with exclusively Mac OS X apps while avoiding the Terminal are...

My machine sits on a local network behind a router doing NAT. On the local network it has the address 192.168.1.100. I obtained a dynamic DNS address for my router from DynDNS. The router is set up to forward all requests on port 25 to 192.168.1.100. My question is: what do I put into the file...

I have launched a petition to SolidWorks Corporation asking them to consider porting their great SolidWorks CAD application to Mac OS X. Please join, if you feel qualified. Dominik Hoffmann

I would love to look into porting Darwin to an old 68k Mac. What is involved in such an undertaking?

In a different post I noted that:

Seing the discussion re: VNC client and server I am wondering about the level of security exposure installing a VNC server would pose. Any comments?

I have an Epson Color Stylus 740 hooked up to my Mac running Mac OS X 10.1.2. Unlike the LaserWriter on my Ethernet network, it doesn't show up in Netinfo. Why is that?

The 12/640 definitely does. I have done it. -- Dominik Hoffmann

I would like to do something like lynx -auth:******** <host-url> but lynx won't pass along the empty user ID. How can I make sure it does?

I have found the answer. On the off-chance that it would work I bought a generic USB PCI card at CompUSA for only $15. I put it into my 7600, and was able to print to an Epson inkjet printer. This card is an MP-861-2 by Megapower International Corp. of Taiwan. Their documentation doesn't make...
