    Suddenly can't use localhost for mailserver

    Merciful, are you sure you're not using open relay (un)conciously? This might enable the bad guys to send mail via your local smtp server; with wich the bad guys might send a lot of spam via your local smtp. This all again might make your provider blocking yout smtp port 25 for sending mail by...

    remote shutdown

    Did not now! Then they took 'shutdown' indeed very litterally.. I use osx only since i had a mac above my old 6400, this is a half year ago, so i did not use 10.1 a lot.. Surely not the unix/open bsd part..

    quit applications remotely

    hmm.. didn't think about the applications asking things... ;) Well, i could just use an applecript for the application where i needed it for, but for the rest it's suddenly very clear why it's not such a good idea (and i guess it doesn't excist) because of your answer.. Thanks Timoken...

    remote shutdown

    Just used 'shutdown' on my osx 10.2.6 box the way i used it on Suse Linux, and still do on Debian. It works perfectly. This will work...: shutdown -h now EDIT: to be clear: 'shutdown -h now' shuts your machine down completely. EDIT2: and it's also fully safe!

    quit applications remotely

    Since I'm able to open applications, folders or whatever in the macosx-way within the terminal (and thus also remotely) with the 'open' command, i'm hoping there is also a command that does the reverse. So closing an application/folder/e.g. without using ps auxc and kill... Anybody knows...

    The thrill is gone

    I just love my new 12 inch pb, 10.3 beta and also isight. The future of G5 seems great to me! I still own my 6200, and I do remember working the first time on the little Macintosh Plus machines we had at 'high school' (we don't name it high school in the Netherlands). Yes, i felt limitations :)...

    Lets Start a List of What Works/Doesn't work in WWDC Panther DP

    Thanks for the tip.. I overlooked it, even though i looked very hard.. (i'm used to use shortcuts). Why are there 3 different options then? 1, 7 or 35 passes? I guess this means it overwrites the file 1, 7 or 35 times? oh, Arden, i knew from apple.com os x preview that it existed, but they...

    Trash problems...

    I'm installed the 71202 version. Does anybody now if the secure-trash-function is already build in? And then where to activate it? And if not: is it available in the newer beta version?

    installing 10.3 broke some things in 10.2

    For really unmounting seccond partition go to terminal and type: > sudo umount /Volumes/NameOf10dot3Harddisk Indeed, unmount spelled without the 'n' to mount again: > sudo mount /Volumes/NameOf10dot3Harddisk The umounted partition will return anyway on reboot. This should do it..
