    We will NOT be providing 10.1 via FTP

    I understand not hosting the 10.1 full installer. But would you consider hosting the new dev tools. Apple is not giving them out with the instant updates, forcing people to pay and wait for 10.1 by mail (I need the dev tools for 10.1 to be useful to me). The dev tools would only be useful to...

    My understanding is that 'enable remote connections' in 10.0.1 turns on sshd (not telnet anymore). I ran a port scan on my computer and it showed ssh but not telnet and I have the box checked in my prefs. Yuri

    What can I do with sendmail?

    Marmoset, I have the same problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I for one would like to know. I don't feel like being the first to port qmail as I have yet to successfully compile anything (./configure cannot recognize MacOS PB)
