Rather strange problem I'm having with 10.2 (fully patched). My LoginItems pref pane no longer shows up. The apps that are supposed to open at login do open, but the pane itself does not. I still see it in /System/Library/PreferencePanes. The permissions seem fine and none of the contents have...

Resolved by a posting on forums.macnn.com. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001800 Bingo! From this link, I learned about /sbin/SystemStarter. Running this manually showed me that it was dying when running the Cisco VPN client I installed. I disabled...

I had the same problem and found the fix here: http://a1568.g.akamai.net/7/1568/1388/062-9195.20020207/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/062-9195.20020207/us/KB106609.dmg.bin Article ID: 106609

cron is not starting on my system. I can start the process manually, but it is not coming up at login. /System/Library/StartupItems/Cron exists and hasn't been modified. I did delete all my Login Items a couple of months back, but I don't recall cron being in there. And when I add it, it does...

I'm having the same problem in classic. I haven't rebooted into 9.2.2 to see if the notes and tasks come up.

Ah, just like in Windows, you mean.

Sorry, I must hang my head in embarrassment..

Can someone please write a screen lock app? It's amazing that Apple didn't include one (I believe the PB had something, but not anymore).

Kartoffel, You-Are-The-Man=Kartoffel; export You-Are-The-Man I love that tip. I routinely have 10 ssh sessions running and I'm tired of shift-command-t 'ing each window just to get a hostname in the titlebar. Wow!

Keyspan PDA Adapter, $40 at CompUSA (nothing at Frys) in conjuction with ZTerm works fine under X 10.1. A little bulky, a little crude, but works good well.

A post on the thread on macnn that g4titanium references states that the Keyspan PDA Adapter (not the Keyspan Serial Adapter) in conjunction with Zterm is the way to go. Fry's doesn't carry the Keyspan PDA Adapter, but I'm hoping CompUSA will have it. I'll post my results when I find this...

Wait, these are Mac serial ports? I thought they were standard PC serial ports. So, this USB/Serial adapter will *not* allow us to console into our boxes. Crap!

Okay, one of us is going to have to buy and try something. If I can't console into my Sun boxes, I have to use this IBM Thinkpad 800 P3 (which, btw, boots up in over 3-4 times as slow as my Pismo 500).

Has anyone used Keyspan's "High Speed USB Serial Adapter" to console into a Unix box from a OS X system?

Where is this beach? Obviously some nice warm relaxing pacific island. Somewhere I need to be really soon. Anyone?

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing. Word triggers port 2222/udp and 3XXX/tcp. No snoop on Mac OS X? Hm...

Dave, No ssh after the upgrade? Perhaps it wasn't in your PATH? I went from 10.0 to 10.1 in my recent install and ssh was there from 10.1.

Well, I'm a Solaris eng., so I'm used to laying out my disks with a little more control. The Disk Utility doesn't give you fine control of your disks. I'm working on the assumption that the first partition will be closer to the inner part of the disk and more partitions will be in the outer.

You know, if you think about the geometry of a disk, it seems to me that it would make sense to put your swap partition on the first cylinders. Most people do not fill up even 25% of their disk, so the heads spend most of their time in that particular portion of the disk. Putting your swap on...

Phyl, I had problems initially trying to mount Win2K shares. I found that there couldn't be any spaces in the share name (be careful for other illegal characters -- this is Windows afterall) and that the ip number and hostname had to be in my hosts file if the system wasn't in dns (wasn't able...
