    How did I do that(App alias)

    Just do it from the command line. It's been a while since I've fired up the old Mac. Lots of Linux stuff in the works. As far as being able to determine if it was a link, it was most likely a hard link and not a soft link ln file file ln -s file file

    Time Capsule vs Extreme with ext HD

    It is a G4. Dosen't sound like it's worth it to me at this point. From Apples site it appears the 802.11n is compatible with 802.11a/b/g. So I would guess the Time capsule Airport would work with my mac mini 802.11g if I were to decide to get it.

    Firewall & ipfw

    Humm I run bind as user bind and that's tcp/udp 53 . Now granted that's on FreeBSD. bind is a mortal user. I don't think mac osx is any differrent. Also run apache as user www on port 80/443 and www is a mortal user.

    Firewall & ipfw

    A self signed certificate is completely legitimate, BUT if it was your web site I wouldn't give you my credit card. But if building something like web based mail server and I don't want users passwords exposed, it's perfectly legit.

    Firewall & ipfw

    You don't show your complete rules. Either read the man pages for ipfw or Google. Look for "check-state" and keep-state rules. ipfw does stateful inspection. Stateful meaning it will create dynamic rules.

    SSH Public Key Problems

    The local syntax you used should be good to create the keys on your side. Verify ssh is running on port 22 with a port scanner like nmap on your webhost servers. And yes talk to the hosting company to find out any details.
