I am using superduper to mirror my server harddrive nightly. Should I be shutting down the mail services before I do this.
Or any other service?
Is it better to run a VM on a dual core hyperthreaded machine as a four core or as a two core VM.
The hyperthreaded 'virtual' cores are not as fast as the real cores. Does this effect the VM?
I am trying to make the webserver in Snow Leopard compress all output by default. The only thing I have found is to add SetOutputFilter DEFLATE in the .htaccess file for a directory.
I really don't want to add an .htaccess file to every directory served.
How can I globally get Apache2 on Snow Leopard to compress output?
I have 10.6.2 server on the internet. I want to vpn into it to get access. I start VPN and it gives me an address in the range I have set 192.168.2.100-192.168.2.105.
However the server itself does not have a local ip of 192.168.2.x so I cannot ping it or ssh into it or anything.
The machine VPNing gets an ifconfig entry that looks like this:
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
inet 192.168.2.100 --> 70.72.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00
Where I think it should get:
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
inet 192.168.2.100 --> 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00
I can't find anywhere to set the local vpn IP address. And I can't find a pptpd.conf file either.
Any help is appreciated.
I have just purchased a mac server 10.6 and would like to migrate my zimbra imap folders for all my users to the mac. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to go through the copy paste using thunderbird quagmire?
Share points are 'broken' in OS X 10.5 in that inherited write permissions always take precedence over ACLs at the sharepoint itself.
Does anybody know if this is fixed in 10.6?
I am running 10.5.6 Client as a mini server and am having problems with AFP shares. All clients are OS X 10.5.7
I have created three users for 'File Sharing' only on the 'server'. I have created groups and placed these users into specific groups. I have created ACL's to give each group access to certain shares.
Two of those users can read and write to any share, one user cannot write to the shares, with different results:
- when copying a directory, only the directory is created, no files inside are copied, the OS does not give any errors
- when copying a single file I get three dialogs: "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named 'xxxx', "The item 'xxxxx' contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?, and, The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priveleges for some of the items.
With the single file, a file gets created on the server, but is empty.
My ACL for the group this user belongs to is:
0: group:projectmembers allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: group:informationtechnology inherited allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
2: group:executive inherited allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
3: group:everyone inherited deny list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit
User 1 & 2 belong to informationtechnology and executive and projectmembers, they can read and write freely on the share. User 3 belongs to projectmembers and cannot read and write freely.
I have read that this is a UID issue, however User 1 & 2 do not have matching UID's across clients and server and they work, so I don't think this is the case.
Any ideas?
