Hi, We have this cluster of xserve nodes. I am able to log into the portal node and have admin access there (sudo access). But I don't even know if I have an account on the other nodes (the person who set it all up went on a long vacation). I know that to reset admin password on a mac os x...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has similar experience with this. I have a tibook that has only 2 GB left, running Jaguar. I want to edit a video that is at least 60 minutes, and the final product gets stored back on a dv tape. So I can read from the dv cam through firewire, but I can't write...

Hi, I am using 10.1.5 on my tibook. I installed Starcraft from the CD I bought and the it runs fine in classic. I downloaded the 1.09b patch from Blizzard and installed it. Copied everything from the three folders into the Starcraft File folder. I noticed that there's already a carbon...

Hi, I have this php website on some linux machine somewhere that is doing fine. I wanted to use my Mac OS X machine as a development server. So I downloaded all the php pages onto my tibook. PHP works after I installed the .so file from entropy and made changes to the apache config. BUT, for...

Hmm, I don't see anyone else complaining, but can it just be me? I tried to run software update for the past two hours and it kept saying it can't reach the server after checking for like five minutes. I can get on the internet fine (allowing me to whine here). Anything I can do to diagnose...

Does this happen to anyone else? I installed Palm Desktop for Mac OS X yesterday. I synch it with my Handspring, and all's well. But after each synch, my Handspring pops up a window saying I have to press the "restart" button below to restart the system. Why? It doesn't happen when I synch...

Hi, I went through the results from a search on solutions to create color syntax on vim and nothing was concrete or worked. I am wondering if there's an FAQ for something like that. I have given up trying to get color to show on vim when running on the Terminal.app (even though color shows...

Hi, How do I copy and paste between XDarwin xterm windows (or anything, like Netscape) and my main Mac OS X apps? Tried the obvious Apple+X,V,C and nothng happened... G

Hi, I am using XFree86 to launch X-based programs. All fine. Is there a way, however, to have some sort of file browser/explorer for the file system from which I can launch X programs? For example, from my OS X computer, can I have something equivalent to Finder? Or more useful, when I am...

Hi, Please redirect me to a site or link if this is asked before. I have a Dec Alpha serving out X Windows apps. How could I use my Mac OS X to take advantage of that so that I can run graphical apps on that server on my Mac OS X. When I used Windows 2000 I had this application called...

Hi, When I start my computer, for a second a folder with a question mark flashes, but then everything seems to load fine. I have no clue what that means, perhaps a file or two are missing? How would I find out what? Is there a log that could reveal what happened during those first second and...

What is that file that is seems almost omnipresent in all my subdirectories? They are annoying when I work with non-Mac systems like Linux. Is it like those freaky Mac hidden dirs like .DS_Store, which is present everywhere. Is there a way to not have them or are they critical to the...

Hi, Does anyone notice that if you try to rename a file to one whose only difference from the old is the case, mac os x will not allow you? Like: mv here HERE This is illegal. I thought this was unix, no? Did some in Apple tweak with the unix system to make HERE the same as here? Would...
