Is there a more efficient way to retrieve the MAC address of a NIC in Linux?
This works:
ip link show dev eth0 | awk ' /link\/ether/ { print $2 }'
but can it be found via something like:
cat /sys/net/something
I have a VNC server running on a Mac. When I try to use a VNC viewer, it says "no matching security types".
Is there any other software which can connect to a Mac like RDP?
If iI use screen sharing from another Mac, then it works but not from VNC.
EDIT: I am using:
- Leopard 10.5.7,
- vnc VIEWER 4.1.3,
- nothing installed on Mac,
- On Same LAN,
Now that I have started the Software Update service on my Leopard Server, how do I change my client Macs to check for updates on it?
Is there any solution out there to turn a Mac into a true multi-user thin client server?
I'd like to set up a few cheap PCs with access to a couple accounts using something like VNC, but it isn't economical to buy a new server for each user or a new license for virtualized OS X Server for each user.
I'm fully aware that OS X Server lets you set up users with "network home folders," and I know there's also VNC built into Mac OS X. Neither of these fit the bill (the former requires a thick client, and the latter is single-user only)
UPDATE: yay, Lion! http://www.9to5mac.com/54102/10-7-lion-allows-multi-user-remote-computing
Per the Windows and Linux threads, what commands do you find most useful in Mac OS X Server (or Client)?
