Why don't you go into nslookup and type in: set type=MX set all and see, if it has accepted your option there. If so, it should print "querytype=MX" somewhere As it works for one user, but not for another, I assume the problem lies somewhere in the user environment (shell etc.) rather...

I did not spend a minute about considering to switch from my unix box to Apple, until they had released MacOSX. I can work with the system, quite like I did with FreeBSD. I can even go on using procmail manage my emails, since OSX's Mail is based on the unix standard mailbox. I can use my old...

Quite funny, a similar thing happened to me a couple of times recently. I've always been using tcsh in MacOSX, but when I started the terminal it _randomly_ gave me a bash: 'bash-2.05a$' That seems to be quite a curiosity. It appeared after I upgraded to 10.2.6, a few times and then never...

You might want to consider 'pax'. It is also command line and handles multiple formats: cpio, bcpio, sv4cpio, sv4crc, tar, ustar. I would recommend 'cpio'. It is a couple of years younger than tar (i think) and might solve the popular 'resource fork' problem. Your command would look like...

I've already gone through "/etc/hostconfig", but the last point hit it: "NeworkExtensions" was what I was looking for, so thanks a lot. Btw, what was the point about "sudo"? Have I mentioned that in any way? I haven't even set a root passwd on this machine ;)

I have been installing several startup frameworks that automatically load my scripts. It works perfectly fine for all of them exept for ipfw in "Firewall/Firewall". Im 99.9 % sure, there is everything alright with the StartupParameters.plist, the permissions and so on. Yet, there must be...

make sure you're in (t)csh: > set NEWUSER="/ /users/temp" > niutil -create $NEWUSER > niutil -createprop $NEWUSER uid 800 > niutil -createprop $NEWUSER expire 1 > niutil -createprop $NEWUSER home /tmp and so on... Just type in 'niutil' and it will show the available options...

Envy is the only thing I feel, when looking at ekramers hardware and thinking of my 15" iMac ;)

GEE! Seven month ago, I mused over the decision between a powermac and the iMac and I chose the latter. If I would have known... Grrr. However, even then I felt, the PowerMac had more to offer for technically ambitioned people, but I was seduced by the all-in-one design of the iMac...

I recently treated myself to a new screen that I - not exclusively but also - wanted to connect to my iMac (G4) and I was shocked to see the Mac being only capable of the pityful, oftentimes useless mirrowing mode. I remember my old Intel-Notebook which had half the video-memory/power and could...

That's true, tar isn't best choice for MacOSX as it was for Unix, originally. Hence, you are free to change my command to copy the specific file to a location from where you stuff it into an encrypted dmg via Disk Copy and burn it to a CD. That's how I usually backup my sensitive data.

Well my cdrom drive is actually deviced at "/dev/disk1s1s2"... I can mount and unmount the device. You can check out your cdrom device by looking at fstab or running "autodiskmount -v" after having inserted a CD

Oh, I just forgot to tell you that in the second command, the "r" switch after the tar stands for (r like) append ;) So, the tarball has to exist before you run the command. A simple 'touch name.tar' won't do, neither a simple 'tar cf name.tar'. I forgot the neat solution, so my suggestion now...

Alright, here you go: > tar cpf mypdfs.tar *.pdf That works, if you know where the files are... If you first have to find them, use the following: > find / -name "*.pdf" -exec tar rpf mypdfs.tar {} ";" Pay attention: 1. Change the '/' to the folder your searching in. 2. You need all the...

That's one thing I always wondered about. It is so annoying under OSX: the usual FreeBSD locale procedure does not work. Not for the login method, not for the environment method, it simple does not do... but still all the locale files exist under /usr/share/locale. They remain undocumented by...

I always love to hear stories about how people accidently sent hardware, software, data (anything computer related) to heaven... I mean don't get me wrong, I really feel bad the electronic devices, but I just love the human reactions from a distant perspective ;) For example, I rember one day...

Btoneill, do you know what jkh is specifically doing at Apple? Since he left 'his' project behind, I haven't heard anything about him...

Alright, I just saw btoneill's post that appeared while I was typing, forget my about the hard-coding ;) The rest still fits...

I wondered about that, too, so I examined the "X11Config.pkg" as given within the whole installation package and I found out that it is so far just a type-o which simply installs a blank file into your tmp directory. Hence there aren't yet any fancy configuration files. (But as the existence of...

Again, that's what I said... And so it is for the KHTML rendering enginge. -- Despite, the rest of Safari has never been open source, but an exclusive production of Apple with their own license.
