perhaps the easiest way would be to use 'niload'. make a mock hosts file w/ just the entry you want (do NOT use Textedit). then do a: sudo niload hosts . < name_of_mock_hosts_file

you first need to figure out if its simply a IP naming issue (ie. DNS) or whether you really have a problem. try going to any web page using it's numerical IP address instead of its usual name. If that works, thats telling you you're not getting nameserver information from your ISP...

yes, dblcheck that the SCSI tape was picked up during the boot. You can also use Apple System Profiler to look at the SCSI bus and any known devices on it. It may welll not be called 'nrst0' or whatever is compiled into tar. Check any entry in /dev

I think the D-Link instructions are F*d. Why would it have you go into Network Pref's and then configure 'BuiltIn Ethernet' if you want to config Airport? Do this. Go into Network Prefs and select Airport instead and ghen configure it for DHCP.

During the link process of the build, the linker builds in the path to the libraries (or you can force certain ones). Under OSX, they can live in a range of places and it seems Frameworks are glorified shared libraries (no, I'm not a Aqua programmer)...

How did you 'configure' squid when you built it. If you read the squid.conf file, this is what you'll see. # TAG: cache_dns_program # Note: This option is only available if Squid is rebuilt with the # --disable-internal-dns option # # Specify the location of the...

I'd recommend using Marc's pre-compiled module. All of the submodules he's added really save alot of time and pain.

when in doubt, use the gobs of documentation available to you. http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/examples.html#purename

well, try examining the source code for your favorite packet sniffer or check the Steven's book. you essentially need the IFF_PROMISC flag sent to the interface via ioctl. see 'man netintro'

you dont. First off, only root can put the interface into promis. mode. Second, as I recall, you can only do it via the C API which ethereal will do. So, su to root and launch the tool. Or, if you like to live dangerously and you're the only user of the machine, suid the binary.

check to see if your ISDN modem is set to dial on broadcast packets. You may need to add some filters to the ISDN unit to keep it down. I uused to use ISDN to connect and there would be a number of broadcast and other packets during startup. You may want to d/l another browser such...

http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/documentation/howto/html/osxsmb.html#using Does that get you started or is the VPN somehow preventing connection?

it works because it forces finds output to be null terminated (\0) and xargs is being told to use null terminated strings instead of its normal WHITESPACE. The spaces in the filenames are confusing the defaults. From the Fine Manual for xargs: -0 Use NUL (``\0'') instead...

talk to whomever administers your machine. They have changed your login shell from a csh/tcsh version to ksh.

well maybe yes, maybe no. 1.1.4 has a security fix and OSX supplies 1.1.3 What is most likely happening is that your building GD w/ '-lz' on the Makefile command and that is using the OSX 1.1.3 You could download 1.1.4 and compile and modify the Makefiles to use libz.a instead of...

ain't gonna happen. Terminal.app is Cocoa/Carbon/Quartz and XDarwin is X. Why not use xterm or any of the zilllion available terminal emulators available for X?

Often/usually, running ranlib and THEN mv'ing the library destroys the table of contents. Put the .a in its final location and then do the ranlib (probably need to sudo the operation).

Suprisingly enough, it means you have new mail. ;) This happens if a cron task or something else local happens and the system sends mail. It ain't gonna send it POP/IMAP. The shell checks for that on startup. Check /var/mail

On my system, its in std mbox flat single file format and all I needed to do was kick off mutt (my preferred client). Your 'file per email' theory sounds like MH and mail.app doesn't do that.

the European guy who wrote NFSManager has a long white paper on his website detailing what needs to be done to NetInfo config to make it a YP client/slave.
