I've set up VPN on an OSX Server 10.5 machine. My OSX 10.5 Client is able to connect into it without any issues. Hooray! I've checked the box "Send all traffic over VPN connection" because that's exactly what I want to do. However, as people have experienced, and as expected, you can no...

I am running the latest and greatest version of OSX Server fully updated. Problem: Upon restarting or cold booting the system, I am unable to log in. After I enter the user/pass, it sits there for 10-15 seconds, then shakes its head 'no' and doesn't let me pass. Yes, I'm typing my password...

Hello. So here's what I would like to do. I want to share internet from my OSX Server to a regular OSX client machine. My OSX Server 10.5 machine has airport and ethernet on it. My internet comes wirelessly over Airport. My OSX Client machine only has ethernet. Simple, right? I...

I've been searching this forum and google, no luck. 1. Where is the "unique machine identifier" stored? i.e. Specific rogue blocks on the HDD which survive quick-reformats? 2. Is it a calculation based on a logic board's hardware ethernet MAC address? Thanks!

Novice at VPN here, but it looks as if nothing is being encrypted when I'm connected over VPN. Setup: Client: OSX 10.5.4, connecting to a server: OSX Server 10.5.4 via Apple's built-in VPN system. Scenario: • I've set up OSX Server on an XSERVE to allow VPN connections. • I've set up...

Hello, Hopefully someone can answer this. I have a brand new Intel XSERVE running OSX Server 10.5.4. I also have a brand new Intel iMac running OSX 10.5.4. I want to run Server Monitor on my iMac, to watch the XSERVE. When I type in the server's IP address, the username and password...

How do I change my MAC Ethernet Address?

How do I change the UUID which gets displayed in Disk Utility for a particular partition?

I've read my license agreement and it would seem that I am allowed to use, sell, crush, alter, pour acid on, smack with a hammer, or eat my Macintosh, since I own it. Based on the fact that I own my Mac, I have three questions for you: How do I change my Ethernet MAC address? How to I...

Hello, I've installed a program that has corrupted some parts of my operating system (trust me, it is broken and broken good). I've done all of the usual fix-its and nothing works. I do not want to "re install" the whole operating system using the install DVD. I have a perfectly good...

Since "Upgrading" to 10.5 and what ever version of Safari that comes with it, I have run into a problem where Safari will only remember the most recent user/pass for any given site. In the past, suppose you visited a site with a login box, and you owned two different logins, old Safari would...

Hello. the question is pretty simple. Let's hope the answer is also simple. I've got 4 macs - and each one running a slightly different OS. 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5. In other words, I will use which ever one I "should" use to get the job done in the simplest way. They're all at my disposal...

Hello, Can anyone list a few different tools that watch and log exactly anything and everything an "installer" does? Something that will log any files that were added, deleted, or modified. Most importantly, something that will also catch little sneaky things such as an installer that modifies...

I have searched the forums for my question before posting it here. Iv'e seen one other person ask this question, and he got zero responses, but that was 5 years ago. Maybe today someone knows... Simple - how exactly can i force boot or trick boot my Powerbook 17" into OS9? don't waste your...

I have checked for this topic but I was only able to find sporratic, half-answers to this question. (That, or it was far too technical to make heads or tails of the whole thing). So apologies if it seems like a repost. What I want to do is seemingly straightforward, but apparently not. I...

Hello! I am on a freshly installed 10.4 system. I made the mistake of having an old Classic program called HexEdit hanging around on my hard drive. The Finder seems to think all my .php, .pl, .html and other files "belong" to HexEdit. I have since deleted HexEdit but the Finder still wants to...
