Thanks for the tips. I saw the tip at the link, but it didn’t sink in at the moment – one of a hundred reasons why I shouldn’t start new projects on a day when I’m being interrupted every 5 minutes.

I’m really starting to see the how useful this methodology can be. I can easily roll in all of my field modifications into my images. I had already begun making changes by packaging where possible and using “send unix command” to make other changes. Documentation should be much cleaner also – or should I say being able to see what changes are being made without having to look at the change management file.

Great work guys (and gals).

Curt.

Thanks,

I just received the same info from tech support. Also, after I posted, I was digging and found the Tiger updater for the LE version. Installing this worked.

Thanks again

The correct setup is in the Network settings as you’ve discovered. The first entry should be the IP address of your server. After that should be the address of your parent server. This tells the child server to check itself first and then my parent (and so on for as many entries as you have in the network settings).

Once, in the pre-OSX days, when I was working with a particularly unreliable ISP, I even went as far as to put some of the root servers in my network settings. This is unnecessary now because BIND knows to look to the root servers.

The tricky part seems to be reverse lookups. I’ve come up with a few work-arounds, but I’m pretty sure that there are simpler ways. Write back if you need help with them, maybe I can help.

Yes, it does check…..Just like Adobe apps, MS Office, and many other apps.

The safest way to do what you’re thinking about would be to set up a test network-separated by a router from your production network. By creating a test network you protect your production network and your users from any goofups you make and doesn’t interrupt any services.

Hope this helps.

I thought of using a script myself – found several that came close, but never had the time to modify them to fit my needs.

I’ve been using a spreadsheet from Jon DeTroye (sp?) at homepage.mac.com/johnd

Look for StdUserImportForm.xls

Its an excel spreadsheet that concatenates the data for you. Here’s the process in a nutshell:

[list:93580aae44]Change the header contents to what you need,
enter your data (I usually import an output file from Filemaker Pro)
select the last field and paste it into a text file
import it in WGM.[/list:u:93580aae44]

hope this helps

thanks. At the rate I’m being allowed to develop this server, Panther will be here. So it goes. Its been a great learning experience.

Problem Solved!!! After much digging, reading, etc., I found the solution:

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/imapd 😆 😆

I’ve been having the same problem. I’ve rebuilt UW-IMAP several times, checked the firewall (enabled and disabled it) and fiddled with both inetd and xinetd.

This isn’t my primary server so I haven’t been chasing after it, but, I’m almost out of development time. I’m thinking of trying Courier to see if that works instead.

I’ve experienced the same problem. What I found out is that the rewrite rule needed to be added to /etc/httpd_macosxserver.conf not httpd.conf.

Works like a charm. I’m successfully using to host sites served by Zope and FileMaker Pro.
