Running an OS for the sake of running the OSOne of Edwins favorite trolls is to claim that no one should run a OS as an end
in itself when someone mentions that his beloved POS PC can't even run OSX.
This has always amused me since the operating system very much sets the
standard for every application that runs atop it.
With Tiger, this has become very apparent.
OS X gives the user a system wide search that searches just about everything in
the computer. Any application can incorporate this into the application
OS X gives every application the ability to tap into Core Audio, Core Image and
Core Video.
OS X gives the user powerful tools such as Automator to enhance and simplify
the repetitive tasks one must do with other operating systems.
OS X ships with a built in dictionary and thesaurus.
OS X ships with a built in and system wide spell checker.
OS X has a .Mac frameworks which means that contacts, bookmarks, calendars can
be synced via .Mac with multiple computers, and third party applications can
use the same functionality.
OS X ships with H.264, which is a supreme video codec. Windows still can't
handle mpeg4 out of the box (unless some late WMP update has changed that).
And so on. These are all reasons why it's better to have OSX running under your
application than having Windows.

Run OS X on OS XI have a new G5 with 4GB of RAM.
I have a G3 running WebStar and the machine is showing signs of age. I
would like to move it to this new machine but also use this machine
for development.
I was thinking I could run the webstar and related in a seperate
instance of OS X and have that running while I develop in the main OS
X instance.
Thoughts?

Running a BSD script without BSD?Here's the deal. I downloaded an image of the Freesbie distribution for
USB Pen Drives, and the .sh script that goes along with it. The site is
here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.freesbie/1061
I figured I'd run the script under cygwin, and everything would be hunky
-dory. However, the script doesn't seem to like my mount point for the
pen drive in cygwin, even though it's been mapped correctly from F:.
Somebody suggested to me that the script can be run only from within
FreeBSD (which is kinda stupid if you're trying to get FBSD up and
running in the first place).
Ideas or suggestions?

BSD/OS 3.1Hello -
I was left with a machine with BSD/OS (I think it was a BSDI product) on
it after an employee for a firm I work for quit. I don't have the root
password, and need to recover it or change it. How could I do that? The OS
seems to be a few years old, and I'm having a hard time finding decent
documentation.
Also, I may find myself in the situation of having to move numerous users
to a newer FreeBSD 4.x box. I can do this manually if I have to (it may
not be very many users anyway), but I was wondering if there might be an
easy way to do it with a script or something.
Thank you very much!

Explain this one: OS 9 app runs fine under OS XRemember how I was impressed that the Eudora I had on my 9.1 G4 ran
great under OS X in classic mode? I restarted (after installing a few
updates) and started up Eudora again the same way I had
before -- by clicking on an alias to its preferences. I then realized
-- classic wasn't starting up --
and then realized that Eudora was running fine on native OS X I should
have been a little more observant earlier and paid attention to the
fact that its windows were OS X windows, not OS 9 ones!
So how can that be? I'm on Eudora 5.2 (never updated that either) and

Looking for BSD/OS X routing solutionI'm looking for a solution to a networking dilemma in MacOS X (ignore
the GUI - I'm talking BSD userland here). I'm hoping that at least
one BSD networking guru knows the solution.
Quick summary of what I want to accomplish:
I want to abstract the ethernet interface presented to the rest of the
network, and route en0 and en1 traffic through it. That way, one
could seamlessly unplug their 100baseT connection (en0) and roam on
802.11b/g (en1) without any connections or network activity (ldap,
lpr, nfs, etc.) being aware of it.
Expanded information:
System Setup:
We're using OS X 10.2.6 (10.3 as soon as available). All IP addresses
are handed out by DHCP, but are locked to the various MAC addresses
using the fixed-address parameter. All internal addresses are in the
192.168.1.0 network. The DHCP server also specifies the ldap server
(option code 95). All network volumes are nfs, specified as mounts in
the ldap server. Directory Services on the Macs knows to look for
authentication and volume information in ldap. NFS volumes are mounted
at bootup on known mount points (unix-style), NEVER by the users
(classic Mac style). Servers are Slackware 9.
Considerations:
We have both regular workstations which are *only* attached to the
network, and PowerBooks which *may* be wired or wireless. The
workstations learn about the ldap server from dhcp, and look to it for
authentication. Home directories are on an NFS mount, thus enabling...

Huh? Ctrl-Z isn't supposed to stop it. Did you mean Ctrl-C? Ctrl-Z just

Inconsistency between os.getgroups and os.system('groups') after os.setgroups()Run this test program as root:
import os
print "before:", os.getgroups()
os.system("groups")
os.setgroups([])
print "after:", os.getgroups()
os.system("groups")
After the os.setgroups, os.getgroups says that the process is not in any gr=
oups, just as you would expect. However the groups command run using os.sy=
stem says that the process is in the root group. It appears that the new p=
rocess started by os.system augments the group membership specified in the =
os.setgroups command with the group of the actual user of the original proc=
ess (which is root). I can suppress membership in the root group only by d=
oing os.setgid and os.setuid before the os.system call (in which case I win=
d up in the group of the new user instead of root), but I have to be able t=
o get back to root privilege so I can't use setgid and setuid. How do I ru=

Is OS 9 required on hard disk to run classic apps in Mac OS X (say, Panther) ?I have OS 9 and Jaguar on separate partitions. I thought it would be right
time to wipe off everything (offcourse, I do have backup of personal data,
apps, etc) on my harddisk and make a clean install of Panther. I don't want
to have OS 9 anymore on that another partition on my harddisk.
My question is, if I need to invoke classic apps in Panther is it required
to have OS 9 on harddisk or Panther alone has everything to emulate classic
runtime?
BTW, only classic application that I still need under Mac OS X is VNC
client.

1. Boot (C-A-D).
2. Wait for "boot blob" at top left corner of the screen (a white box, and
"OS/2").
3. Press Alt-F1.
4. Select "Boot to command prompt (use original CONFIG.SYS)" option.
5. Fix the CONFIG.SYS
Alternatively, boot to command prompt from the OS/2 installation diskettes.

Windows NFS client that can talk to OS-9 (BSD)?I have been trying to get a Windows XP box to talk via NFS to Linux or

Microsoft's own Services for Unix 3.5) with no luck. If it was just
limited to OS-9, I could focus on that, but I also cannot browse file
systems on a Linux box. (Note that OS-9 can mount itself, and BSD
boxes can talk to OS-9 just fine; the OS-9 networking stack is BSD
based, so that makes sense.)
Does anyone here actually use a Windows NFS client to talk to anything?

By the way, it goes without saying that some computers, mostly laptops these

desktop computers do not. That, as far as I know, is not in question by

has already closed the writing end, the reading end does not get EOF.
