    How can I protect a folder in X?

    You can also create a disk image in Disk Copy and select encryption for it; hence, anything in that image is unavailable unless first mounted with the right passphrase.

    Big applications when built?

    Probably debug info. Under the Targets tab, select the Deployment option for Build Styles, then do a clean and build. That should cut out lots of extraneous debug symbols and such.

    Congrats to testuser!

    Well, tstu cuts the amount of typing in half; tsu makes me think of a university; ttu seems safe to me, but I could be missing something (unless that could be totally TU).

    Congrats to testuser!

    Yup, testuser's definitely has me beat...of course, I tend to pick and choose some days. Hmm...I wonder how many ex-mil types laughed at that one. You sure you want to propose tango uniform ?

    prevent external access to Virtual Hosts?

    A third option, have the webserver listen only on localhost by adding BindAddress 127.0.0.1 to your httpd.conf and restart.

    ssh, application sharing, concerns

    Actually, as of 10.0.1, the Allow remote login option enables ssh, not telnet.

    Looking Up MX Records

    Use nslookup -type=mx domain.com replacing domain.com with whatever.

    Age of Empires II and Civilization III error

    They sure are picky games...your disk is named OS 10.1 and it doesn't like the period there; just added one to my disk name, and AOE II had the same complaint.

    a wee bit of help.....

    lmhostid is part of FlexLM, a common license manager for Unix (and other) OS's. If flexlm was installed with some app, I'd say check to see if it's in the same directory structure. If it installed separately, I'm not sure where it may be, as the flexlm site doesn't list much info for the OS...

    making an md5 checksum of files

    On OS X, cksum doesn't appear to support md5 at the moment; also, there isn't an md5 binary. The best way to do md5 for now is to use openssl: $ openssl md5 /mach_kernel MD5(/mach_kernel)= 7117ab5a67e4a76f65d67ce37224d08d

    SSH, Fink & 10.1.3

    No problems going to OpenBSD from 10.1.3; what does ssh -v -v say to your FBSD?

    htpasswd broken?

    Just tried this, Netscape 4.75 on Solaris 8, against the default Apache on OS X 10.1.3, and your me/my combination worked just fine. Only changes to the Apache configuration were to update the /etc/httpd/users/blb.conf to allow .htaccess, then pointed the .htaccess to the user file with only...

    Create Soft Links From Mac OS 9?

    Since a symlink is a special Unix file, I don't see how OS9 (without any third-party help) could create one; it's a simple file, but has a special filetype in its containing directory.

    application:openFile problems

    This may or may not be the case still, but under 10.1 (the last time I added drag/drop to a project), I had to force-restart Finder, as it seems to cache some of this info (as well as the icon).

    htpasswd broken?

    htpasswd should use the standard Unix crypt() call, so if crypt() on another system generates the same string, then I'd say htpasswd on OS X works. I have a simple C program which says that your htpasswd result is correct (this was run on Solaris), $ pwcrypt Salt? rr Password? my...

    UNIX basics?

    Basically, rmdir only removes an empty directory; this means you have two choices, either remove everything in it, then rmdir it, or use the recursive flag of rm, sudo rm -r non-empty-directory Have a look at AdmiralAK's Unix Basics thread for a good intro.

    memory management changed in 10.1.3?

    I don't think it was a leak, from my observations, it just seemed the file cache was a little too aggressive. I was easily able to free it up by temporarily creating a large (300-400MB) file, then removing it. This caused the cache to use memory for that file, then when the file's deleted...

    memory management changed in 10.1.3?

    They've definitely done something different; I used to see quite a few pageouts in top when building Mozilla; the last two builds, I've seen probably a third fewer...
