Good to hear; and about not having to reboot, it's definitely nice. However, as I mentioned in the announcement for the update, it doesn't restart sshd, so uncheck/recheck Allow remote login if you have it turned on.

That's definitely strange; if a service happened to turn off, you should receive an error in the form of connection refused instead of nothing at all. This update modified Apache (and other items) and restarts it, but didn't touch ftp at all. You're absolutely sure the dyndns stuff is still...

By "no longer work," what exactly do you mean? When you ftp mymachine what kind of error message do you get back, or does it just sit until it times out?

Now that I've seen all the new Apache2 configure options, does it work if you give --with-mpm=prefork? That should tell it to use process-level children instead of thread-level.

Just love those descriptive error messages...try updating manually by downloading it then install from there, see if that goes.

pthread_sigmask is not yet implemented in Darwin (bug report and another). Is there a way to build with processes instead of threads (the old way)? Maybe this'll get Darwin's pthread implementation improved...

Note, for those who are running sshd (Allow remote login in Sharing Preferences), uncheck then recheck it, as the update doesn't restart it for you. It does restart Apache, if you're running that, however. And as to why iTunes wants to reboot, it's because it installs the iPod kernel...

For csh/tcsh: foreach filename (*) set newname=`echo $filename | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'` mv $filename $newname end For sh/ksh/zsh/bash: for filename in *; do newname=`echo $filename | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'` mv $filename $newname done If this is something you'll do...

system.log is the current logfile (and should be in use); system.log.N.gz are previous days' log files, which can be safely deleted. Since these are rotated daily (if your machine is on at 0315), they shouldn't be that large.

That's normal, and done for security reasons (so nobody can look over your shoulder to get your password). Be sure to use your password, and not root's (if root is enabled).

Speaking of Sun people attacking MS, James Gosling (creator of Java) did so in an article at ComputerWorld. One of the best parts,

This is (at least in my opinion) a combination of a bug in NetInfo Manager and the fact you are running only a local NetInfo domain. You can do the restart successfully by running sudo /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Kicker.bundle/Resources/restart-NetInfo This script, when it doesn't...

It looks really funny to have its Start button right above the Dock.

You just dropped back into single-user mode. Should be almost identical to holding Cmd-S when booting up; the only differences being potential processes still running and the filesystems may be mounted read/write.

Well, if this Alpha's running Digital Unix/Tru64, it probably has CDE installed, so you can also try dtfile.

In the shell, $ host myhostname myhostname.domain.com has address 1.2.3.4 For perl, you could either call the above-mentioned host or @ipaddrs = ( gethostbyname( "myhostname" ) )[ 4 ]; print "myhostname: ", join( unpack( 'C4', $ipaddrs[ 0 ] ), "." ), "\n";

To see if you did, check /Library/Receipts for a BSD.pkg folder; if it's not there, you didn't install it. As far as installing just it, theoretically, you can pop in the 10.1 CD, go into Optional Installs and install from there. However, if you've already applied updates, this would...

FYI, iTunes 2.0.4 is (somewhat quietly) out. What's new? Apple doesn't say much:

Did you not install the BSD package? It's optional (but probably shouldn't be) and contains pico, grep, su, and of course, many others.

Some mail servers are setup to attempt to talk back to an ident server on the originating host (this can be a cause for slow mail delivery, if the originator has that port silently blocked); on most occasions, this will fail. In this particular case, it would appear...
