    This is all very interesting but can some please point me to the documentation that explains how to get this thing to learn in the first place? I see lots of discussion about cron running a job to process junk mail for learning (and this thread about linking the correct directories) but nothing about where and how to put junk mail whereever it is supposed to go so that this learning process has something to process. Thanks.

    It must be that ‘RealName’ is not a keyword. Do you know what the correct keyword is for ‘RealName’? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. It looks correct. Maybe I will have to use ‘realName’ and break it up myself.

    Thanks for the reply. We have about 50 client machines and all users have their home directories on an OD server and use network logins.

    Since commandline file manipulations work fine and this only happens in Finder, I cannot see how it can be a filesystem problem.

    Unfortuately we cannot reproduce the condition at will nor determine any specific circumstances associated with the condition. It is not even clear what actions cause the condition to go away. At this point it seems to be completely random.

    Thanks for the reply. Nothing particularly unusual:

    zone "xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" IN {
       file "xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.bak";
       masters {
          yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
       };
       type slave;
    };

    No. The GUI hoses reverse DNS entries.

    I encountered the same problem when I upgraded to Tiger. My problem was associated with setting up reverse zones. The GUI does not handle them correctly and actually deletes the entries from /etc/named.conf so they dissappear from the GUI after a save. I got conflicting comments from Apple support when I reported it. One tech told me reverse DNS is not supported through the GUI. It may have been fixed since 10.4.2 but since I am a Unix grunt I found it easier and more reliable to edit the DNS files the old fashion way (‘vi’ or ‘pico’) so I don’t bother with the GUI.

    After much messing around, I now know what the problem is but I don’t understand why it is changed in Tiger. The error is misinformation. It turns out a user cannot change their own password using ‘dscl’ unlike Panther. The -u apparently must be an administrator. This means the administrator password must be used as well. Not good from a security standpoint in my PHP script.

    [QUOTE BY= ryan] i hate to be one of THOSE people, but i gave up on the GUI interface a long time ago and resorted to learning to edit the config file by hand. if this doesnt intimidate you, i did something like this..

    i loaded the certs and requests into a directory for each server:
    /etc/httpd/certs/mydomain.com

    then edit the the config file:
    /etc/httpd/sites/0001_192.168.1.2_443_mydomain.com.conf

    SSLCertificateChainFile “/etc/httpd/certs/mydomain.com/ComodoSecurityServicesCA.crt”
    SSLCertificateFile “/etc/httpd/certs/mydomain.com/server.crt”
    SSLCertificateKeyFile “/etc/httpd/certs/mydomain.com/server.key”

    does that help?[/QUOTE]

    Thanks for the reply. Now that the holidays are over I can get back to this. I have no problem doing a manual configuration as long as I understand what I’m doing (not always easy Smile ). My only question at this point is where did you get the name for the config file and how did you tie that name into Apache?

    Thanks for the reply. However, these certs are from CACERT not Verisign. In any case the openssl fails with the error “unable to load PKCS7 object.” I take that to mean they are not packed the way the article says Verisign does them.

    We’ve just upgraded to Tiger and I am Spamassassin illiterate. Can someone point me to a cookbook for setting up Spamassassin learning. We are running OD and users get their mail via IMAP or POP. We are using the Server Admin GUI to set Spamassassin now but that apparently has nothing in it for learning. I cannot reduce the hits any further without filtering ham but we are still getting too much spam slipping through. TIA.

    Thanks for the replies. I’m not worried about passwords being left behind but rather viewed email and attachements. It is not clear to me whether or not cacheing of pages and atachements is controlled locally or from the server. If from the server then can I assume that is handled by Webmail? If locally then there is a serious security issue that, to me, is a show stopper. I also cannot count on a specific browser as these are public machines (as far as our security is concerned) with any OS and any browser.

    Never mind. It took some digging but I found it.

    Your assumption is correct (afp). Everything looks normal. Didn’t try another user on that machine. Good suggestion. I’ll get back to you. Thanks.

    I just discovered something that makes this even more bizzare. If that user logs on at a different client machine, everything works as expected.
