Hi, I have an old SCSI Travan drive that I want to see if I can use for bakups on my OS X box. It's APS branded (model # 2094-008P, if that means anything to anybody), and Retrospect says the guts are Seagate. I've got an Adaptec SCSI card (2096, I think) and I just downloaded the driver...

So, Sherlock's advanced options let you find by, among other things, file type and creator. Great. Just please don't tell me I have to use ResEdit or some similar tool to find that info to get a file's 4 digit type or creator and then enter than into Sherlock. The Finder's info doesn't seem to...

I just installed OS X, set up my initial user as jeff, since root was already taken. Jeff is an admin, but root doesn't show up in the Sys Prefs GUI, nor am I able to su. So what is root's initial password, or how can I set it at install time? I had the public beta before, and I did it, but I...
