  1. Re:DNS setup that easy!? on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 2 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, if you have a basic understanding of DNS, then it's that easy.

    See this networking link from Apple, second image. That's about it!

    If you have no clue about DNS, the GUI won't help you much.

  2. How to stream media files (MP3, MPEG, etc) on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 2 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Right from apple

    Granted it's not quite as easy as iTunes, but it's much more powerful.

    Shit, I got 150 GB of user data on a 200 GB RAID. Where would I put weeks worth of snapshots?

    Logging in to an AFP mount is not possible with root. It's a GUI system, and you can't su to another user. You can log in without starting a windowing system. At the login screen, type '>console' without the quotes.

    It does.

  7. Minor bug in Server Admin on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    If you keep Server Admin running a lot, it will fill up /var/spool/cups/tmp with a lot of files that don't disappear. Not necessarily on the server, but on whatever machine you're running Server Admin. If you leave it running for a while (days), you'll start to notice a GB or two missing. Just sudo rm -rf /var/spool/cups/tmp to fix it.

  8. Re:lDAP auth. on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    RAID mounting - depends on the RAID. If it's a non-XserveRAID, you need to leave the box 'unlocked'. This is (simple) security so that someone can't come in and reboot with a firewire/cd/ext HD and take over your server. The fact that the key is just an allen wrench is another story.

    If it's an XserveRAID, it will mount even when locked. Apple's version of buy-in. Still beats MS by a long shot.

    So, seriously, how is *forcing* users to use System Preferences to change things rather than moving control panels where they want them an improvement?

    Consistency across machines for one. Consistency across users within a machine for another.

    Tabbed folders are available from some third party now. Go find them if they're critical to you. I think hiding folders in the dock is a good subsititute, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

    You can't boot a DOS/Windows type OS over firewire to a PC

    How exactly is this Apple's fault? Don't you think you should point the finger at the OS designer?? Next you're going to blame Apple because you have to go into the BIOS to switch to a CD boot instead of just holding down the 'c' key right?

  22. Re:MP3 not AAC? on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 1

    Well, you could always burn it to CD, change your import prefs to AIFF, WAV or MP3 and reimport them.

    It's not lossless, but if you're listening to the songs on the headphones that came with your mp3 player or computer, you won't notice the difference anyway.
