finder q

[LogicMan]

does finder lets u search thru the /etc/ , /sbin/ dirs ?

Nope (at least by default). Use the terminal for that.

If you can't see it, you "shouldn't" know it's there and you probably shouldn't be messing with it. That doesn't, of course, mean you can't; it's just Apple isn't going to open these types of low-level UNIX directories up to every average-checking-his-email-Joe so he can mess up his system inadvertently. Like G said, use the Terminal.

ok that works for me. since i do low level stuff, it would be nice to double-click those files

You can. To open /etc type "open /etc" into the terminal and /etc will open in a Finder window!

 

[LogicMan]

thanks. i will give it a try. Also, do you know how to restart apache?

 

[profx]

sudo apachectl graceful



also if you type apple-shift-g you can type in the directory you want to go to, it even remembers the last one you opened! Thats the way i open unix directorys
