Hi, I have a network that runs on Active Directory, and a room full of PowerMacs that are connected to the AD. I also have an XServe that has 2TB of storage specifically for this room (a media room). What I want to do is have the macs authenticate users against active directory, but not...

Hi, is there a way of making the last few accounts that have logged in to be stored on the client computer temporarily, just incase the server ever went down? There is such a setting in Windows Server 2003, I'm just wondering if Apple has anything that does that. Thanks

Hi, I'm setting up a tiger server to serve software updates to the clients, but the server doesn't seem to want to serve the updates. The client can connect to the server, but then shows the user a message saying the computer is up to date. I know that is not true, and I have all the updates...

Hi, is there any place in the Workgroup Manager where I can set the background image of the connected computers? I can't see any, but I'm thinking it must be possible. Thanks

Hi, how does MacOS X find out which programmes open which kinds of files? I know there's a file in each package that tells the OS what it can do, but how does MacOS read it? Does it do a full system scan every so often, or once you browse the folder does it read the application info? Thanks...

Hi, I've made a few programmes (scripted), how do I make them double clickable applications (one of those packages with all the resources inside)? I have the Development tools, and I can see something like that for java, but not perl. Thanks, BriteSpaak

Hi, Is there any step by step guide to setting up an x server and client to do LDAP (Open directory) login authentication. I have tried the instructions at macdevcenter.com and they didn't work. It's frustrating, I HAVE set it up before, but I can't remember how I did it! BriteSpaak
