    128-bit encryption of what? Login connections to other machines? Yes, ssh remote. File transfers? Yes, sftp remote (part of ssh). Files? Yes, openssl enc. You can also grab a precompiled version of GnuPG to encrypt files and email.

    10.1.3... running like a snail.

    Hey, that's much better than hdiutil eject <disk>. disktool sure has some interesting error messages, try a strings /usr/sbin/disktool when bored, and note the first few messages...

    Mounting Unix Filesystem on OSX

    Most of my NFS mounts are read/write; what does your /etc/exports file on the server-side say?

    nslookup strangeness

    In this case, your desktop is using 192.168.123.254 as its DNS server, but the IP doesn't reverse (map back to a hostname). Is there a reason you use a different DNS server for the two machines? Using this DNS server for the desktop will most likely fix the desktop's problem. Usually delays...

    "Somone is attempting to find symbols" console message ???

    A description of the Quicktime Sorenson Video 3 Compressor seems to match all those strings (imco, SVQ3, and SMI). If that's it, it makes you wonder what Quicktime is doing.

    Mounting Unix Filesystem on OSX

    kilowatt's right that some OS's won't let the nfs:// method work (the BSD's are one), and Linux may depend on your particular distribution. One correction, though, is if you need to use the -P switch, be sure to use sudo with the mount command, as -P tells mount to use a reserved port, which...

    crontab's output question

    That is definitely /etc/crontab (cat /etc/crontab should look just like it), in which case you can delete it, sudo crontab -r Now the question is what caused it to get there in the first place?

    crontab's output question

    testuser's probably right as to the source of the error, but before you delete it, see what's in it; what does sudo crontab -l say?

    F14/F15 keys incrementally decrease/increase brightness

    Works on my DP G4/500 with Apple Studio CRT; my guess is you need an Apple display for this to work?

    Mounting Unix Filesystem on OSX

    As a matter of fact, NFS exports can be mounted via Connect to server.... For a machine called nfsserver which exports /export/home, simply use nfs://nfsserver/export/home and you should see a network mount in Finder and on the Desktop. Unfortunately, it seems to name it after the...

    fopen() call failure in OS X with OpenGL

    Note the length argument to getcwd() is a size_t not size_t *, so getcwd() doesn't return anything in it; it is simply how you tell getcwd() the size of the array you give it, so it doesn't overrun it.

    How to crash a PPP modem connection

    It most definitely should go up; you're trying to send 6K every second over a link that, at best, can send 4K per second. So after a while, the buffer fills up, and ping fails. If you let it sit for a couple minutes, do things work again?

    XDarwin (xhost problem)

    Yup, it's definitely running; what's the output of running the following in the Terminal? /usr/sbin/netstat -anf inet |grep 6000 Also, try setenv DISPLAY d5771564:0.0 then run the xhost again.

    Worst Mac OS X mistake you can do...

    File permissions and ownership are already stored for Apple-installed items, in what's called a bom (bill of materials) file. A thread by The Madhatter has a link to an archive (chkstuff) which contains a perl script which uses those bom files to restore permissions. The weird thing is I was...

    traceroute behind NAT router

    Well, if Windows' tracert works but a Unix traceroute doesn't, then I'd say your NAT doesn't like traceroute's methods; basically, traceroute sends out UDP packets to elicit responses, whereas Windows uses ICMP to elicit those responses. This may or may not help with your particular NAT hardware.

    Perl is gone?

    Do you have the developer tools installed? It appears perl.h is contained in the DevSDK package, so you need this (part of devtools) installed for that file. If you don't have the devtools CD, you can download them from Apple at no charge, but you do need to create an account.

    XDarwin (xhost problem)

    Welcome! Don't take this the wrong way, but was XDarwin running when you ran the xhost? Usually, that error is indicative of not having an X11 server running (which is what XDarwin is).

    traceroute behind NAT router

    Does it start timing out immediately? As in, $ traceroute www.apple.com traceroute to www.apple.com.akadns.net (17.254.0.91), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * Also, does using the -v say anything useful? I don't have a hardware NAT router, mine is an OpenBSD machine, but...
