Anyone else want to hop on board?

we are one step closer to ^^"BEYOND!!!!!". 10.1 is out. Some quick notes: LDAP client services are now supported in the DIrectory services app in /Applications/Utilities NetInfo has been given a slight upgrade (1.0-1.2) Samba is now operational and built-in. Slight security...

I am the person who basically started this section in Macosx.com. I also wrote the welcome memo. I have a SMALL project underway to provide a webpage that reports the current state of OSX networking. The focus will be on source,MacOX, and darwin projects that are out...

All i know, by rumor, is that Apple is working, or has already implemented some VPN stuff. IE: point to point tunneling protocol, pptp

I am not asking about domain names!! I am asking about using NetInfo for serving USER data amongst MAC OSX machines!!! This has nothing to do with the internet. It happens...that the terminology that apple uses to define a NetInfo server is a "domain". Refer to original question. Read...

Yello, any ideas?

I am looking for assitance with creating a properly working NetInfo domain. I already have one machine getting its info from my UNIX NIS server. I want to play with NetInfo and get it to share that data to the other macs...Yes I could do it the same as the first, BUT I WANT TO USE NETINFO!!!!

I read Apple's "UnderstandingUsingNetInfo.pdf" available from it's knowledge base. The guide talks about setting up a netinfo domain with an OSX server. It talks about something called "NetInfo Domain Setup", an application built into OSX server. OSX client has NetInfo Utility and it seems...

In there you would go to the file /etc/services and look in there. Don't have time now, keep here for a posting of a webpage related to this forum.

This is not a forum to learn Unix. There are two others on this site for that. This is a specialized forum to discuss networking brought over from unix that has now been integrating into Mac OSX. Some examples of software/protocols/standards that have been ported are: SSH (secure...

How about putting up a new domain for OSX/unix networking, or at least create another section..... There are loads of issues that come up WRT implementing and troubleshooting netinfo,nis,nfs....... Since apple has left the options open, we need a forum to find solutions on our own...

Installed ncurses and VIM using MAC OSX pkg's from http://macosx.forked.net/ vim wont start up b/c: dyld: vim can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) and ls-l yields: [localhost:/usr/local/lib] macroot% ls libcurses.dylib...

First, this is going into a University Computer Science lab. People here have the skill of professional hackers..... What is OF?? OSX running now.... any sys admins?? do OSX sys admins exist yet besides me?? The guys at genentech (www.genentech.com) are.... but who else?

Just getting things to the top of the list....this issue NEEDS!!! attemtion!!

netinfo is apple's adaptation of the "technology" that NeXT worked on for years. It is 100% supported in OSX. It is responsible for controlling some of the main unix protocols: NFS, NIS.... there is a document and I quote; "UnderstandingUsingNetInfo.pdf" go to apple.com/support and...

BESIDES removing theactual CD drive, is there a way to prevent the booting of an OSX machine from a CD?? This is a blaring!!! security hole. We are setting up a lab, and we can't have this. Any CONCRETE ideas???

So McGill is installing a Mac lab! That's good news... Although they had some when I was there (physiology, class of 98!), they seemed to be replacing all of them by el cheapo PCs. As for your question, the idea is interesting. However, as you know, Apple does not list everything that is...

Starting 1x a day post until a response is given. Why do I think there is demand for such a list? Because OSX needs as much reputability as possible: I use FreeBSD, now, I installed 4.3 stable and it came with a ports collection. To install JDK 1.3.0, ports wanted something like: JDK...

Can someone reply?? IF OSX is GOING TO BE ANYTHING LIKE LINUX/UNIX its going to need good documentatio. This is JUST ONE of the important things needed. Checkout what I have done already: http://www.geocities.com/hfastjava/OSXSummary.htm This is VERY poor, but it's a start. I...

I want a list of exactly what software has been changed, deleted, modified, upgraded since 10.0.0 Golden Master. For example: there was no SSH in 10.0.0 and since, there have been multiple updates with each SW install. I am interested primarily in the darwin (BSD/UNIX) based applications...
