    installing IMAP

    Did you make clean first, then apply the patch, then make osx again? If you don't make clean first, there's a good chance the changes won't be reflected in the binaries. I have done this exact thing (allbeit with a different directory) on a NetBSD box, so it should work. I'm not sure why...

    installing IMAP

    Oh, one more thing, is imap defined in both /etc/services and netinfo? That could also be a problem... -alex.

    installing IMAP

    hmm, strange, I just grabbed the source, built it, threw the binary in /usr/local/libbexec, edited /etc/inetd.conf, sent inetd a -HUP, and boom, working imap server... can you telnet to port 143 on your machine? telnet localhost 143 The only thing I see that looks strange is that on...

    Best Alternative OS for a Mac Classic II?

    Start with the installation instructions for mac68k if you haven't seen them already. A word of warning: this isn't going to be point and click by any means; the classicII is only supported in console mode, which means a serial terminial connection. On the other hand, our previous exchange...

    Robust, Non-Incremental, One-Time, Perfect Backup

    Think of it this way: In a sense, tar is a filesystem format. A tar file defines a filesystem (keep in mind that in UNIX a filesystem is any directory and it's children). Tar is also cross-platform. Given this, it has to cater to the least common denominator. Non HFS[+] filesystems simply do...

    Robust, Non-Incremental, One-Time, Perfect Backup

    also keep in mind that tar will trash any and all resource forks. It's possible that this isn't a problem for you, ie, you have no classic applications or files and no data formats that use resource forks... pretty unlikely... I would recomend you look at pax...

    Best Alternative OS for a Mac Classic II?

    I would go with NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org). It's UNIX-alike, much like linux, but one of the core goals of the NetBSD project is to run on as many different architectures as possible. If anything is going to run on your Classic II, it'll be NetBSD. You also have a good chance of running...

    Active Directory and OS X

    I haven't actually done this, but my understanding is that you have to turn on LDAP services on the win2k side, then authenticate through that. Hope this helps... -alex.

    How to pass empty user ID to lynx?

    Hmmm... not sure, but I would try: lynx -auth=:<passwd> and lynx -auth="":<passwd> based on the lynx man page That kind of syntax (the double quotes with nothing btwn) fakes out most command line tools.... hope this helps.... -alex

    A wierd little operation in OS X

    Well, let's see: -click on Apple Menu, select "About This Mac" -click and drag my hard drive icon from my desktop to the newly opened window -wiggle around a bit -let go -hard drive zips back to its corner. Are you doing something different? ...aside from the whole exploding-Finder...

    Volume Ownership?

    If you can log in as root, you can run the chown command given above without the "sudo" What sudo lets you do is run one single command as root, without launching a whole root shell or login. That way, you can work faster and safer (good sys admin rule of thumb: always use the least amount of...

    Best FTP Client for OS X

    what about the command line ftp client? (ie: open a terminal, and type: mymachine$ ftp ftp.somewhere.com ) It's really pretty easy, and I find it faster than any graphical client for quick batch snatches/puts. some basic commands are: ls list the current directory...

    Multiprocessor Beige (XLR8 velocity)

    Howdy all, Anyone out there have an XLR8 MACh Velocity Dual processor setup in a beige G3? Are both processors working in 10.1.x? I haven't been able to get a stable dual processor configuration. XLR8 Mach Speed Control will sometimes recognize both procs, but when it does, the system...

    Ack! Crazy sh and perl scripts...

    Very strange.... A simple cut and paste of what you entered yields working scripts (give or take a chmod). Where did you get the MRTG binary program? Does it have any config files? About the only thing i can think of looking over all the posts is that it is interpreting the single quotes...

    Tired of reinstalling

    Not that this directly answers your question or anything, but... The track in question is by Kruder and Dorfmeister. I can't remember off the top of my head if it's on the KD Sessions album or the DJ Kicks compilation, but either way they're both excellent records worthy of a listen. I'll...
