    Wow, Preview.app got a lot better...

    "Better" is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think the thumbnail window is a neat idea... which absolutely does not work for me. The fact that no preference exists for disabling it, is horrible IMO. Do this experiement... select 2 files in Finder and "Open"... they go in one...

    htpasswd broken?

    simple actually (20/20 hindsight makes everything look simple....) my .htaccess file contained the line require user user1 user1 was the name of the user I had set up on another system, and that was the password entry in my .htpasswd that worked. When I tried to add user2 to the...

    htpasswd broken?

    Phew... finally after having almost torn out all of my hair :) looking at your .htaccess file. I had hard-coded in a "require user abc", hence user "me" could not authenticate. Dumb dumb dumb me. Many thanks guys. Mike

    htpasswd broken?

    thanks, I am aware of this. If you read the full thread you will see that I am able to authenticate using a password generated from a different system. I only fail when using passwords I generate on my Mac. Given this behavior, I'd say the authentication side of things is working. Mike

    htpasswd broken?

    Any chance you could try that on your Mac, running Netscrape 4.7x on your Solaris box? It fails authentication for me every time. Replacing that line, with a different one (generated on a different system), I authenticate just fine. Thanks, Mike

    htpasswd broken?

    "htdigest"? I am not familiar with this, can you elaborate? Thanks, Mike

    htpasswd broken?

    That's really odd then. As I mentioned, I can use a previously generated .htpasswd file and it works fine. It was only in trying to generate a new user that I am seeing the trouble. So I am certain AuthConfig is working, and my path to the file is correct. Back to the drawing board...

    htpasswd broken?

    I cannot get a usable password out of htpasswd. If I type htpasswd -c passwordfile me and enter "my" for the password, I get me:rrkKqy8tj/4SA as the resulting file. I post that to see comparisons from others. But when I put that into my .htpasswd file, I failed authorisation...

    Java applets in OSX?

    You can have Mozilla (and Netscrape) run at least some java with http://homepage.mac.com/pcbeard/MRJPluginCarbon-1.0d7.sit Works for me. Mike

    cgi-bin for WebServer/

    Then again, in an ironic (IMO) twist, I've found on some servers that you cannot run php scripts in the cgi-bin directory, nor serve html pages. So if you are having trouble running php script, check the location first. Mike

    What do you think about the new iMac?

    who cares? I already have a monitor. why must I go thru the hassle of buying a NEW one, and taking the loss on selling my old one. Shall we be penalized for being previous customers? Why no upgrade-friendly path? Mike

    What do you think about the new iMac?

    Apple keeps missing the boat. They need to bring the cube back (and not over-price it this time). I have a perfectly good 17" VGA monitor. Why should I have to pay for a smaller 15" screen that I don't want? Or they should at least offer a 17" panel. Yawn. Mike

    Firewire/USB Combo card $20 !

    Happy for ya... but again, chipset or not, these do not work for everyone, so buyer beware. Firewire CD-R (works fine with built-in FW) and USB camera both were unrecognized. ASP showed only that a pci card was plugged in. No other useful data. B&W G3 (rev 2), 10.1.1 Mike

    Firewire/USB Combo card $20 !

    I purchased one of these and found that it did not work under OS X. I'm returning it today. Nice idea, but of OS X users, I'm afraid there's no benefit. Both USB and Firewire devices were unrecognized for me under 10.1.1. Mike B&W G3/400

    Ctrl-Ms in mail just started?

    I'm seeing something new since last night. I applied the Security Update (5L14), and have also tried the demo of Windowshade (although I cannot see how that is related). I do mail thru the Terminal, running fetchmail to gather it, procmail to filter it, and sendmail is running as well...

    MS spying through Office v.X?

    Actually with built-in ipfw this should not be difficult to block in a brute-force fashion by blocking all traffic to/from Microsoft...ie.. ${IPFW} add 00603 deny log all from any to 207.46.0.0/16 out via en0 this blocks you surfing to them as well, but you could make finer grain rules...

    USB hub problems

    Ok I had picked up some no-name USB hub thinking these things were all plug and play... (maybe my mistake, it was ~$20 off of dealnews.com) what I've found is that only my Canon BJC-3000 (unsupported in OS X) is seen thru the hub. My Canon digital camera is not accessible via Image Capture...
