Hello all
I'm having a problem with my group folder setup. I want to create a group such as "testgroup" on the /Groups/ folder but it does works.
The group folder will create the "testgroup" on the /Groups/ folder which does not do it. Any suggestions.
Victor

I had a problem where squirrel mail was running really slow. By chance I
fixed it by un checking "Performance Cache" for that site.

You can ask 10 different people who they think has the most reliable
hard drives
and you will probably get a wide variety of answers. Just use what
you have good
experiences with. I've had IBM/Hitachi drives die on me, but I
haven't had any
issues with Western Digital, so there ya go.
The point is, if you value your data you should be using an
enterprise quality
drive that is rated for 24x7 operation. They cost more up front, but
they will save
you lots of money and stress down the road.
If you need more than one of the same drive, it might be a good idea
to buy them
from separate places so the chances of getting them from the same
batch are low.
Regards,
Aaron

>Does that leave Seagate drives as the only drive that anyone would
>purchase for any reason?
Personally, I really like Seagate drives the best.
I like Hitachi drives about 99% as much.
Testing done at various storage companies I've been at in the past is
what these statements are based on. With that said, both of these
folks have been known to "blow it" and produce a real lemon.
What does this translate to: most of the drive vendors are producing
drives for where the money is: the commodity market. Margins are
poor, but the volume is amazing. PC users are *very* used to their
systems crashing/hanging/breaking and (for some weird reason) don't
seem to mind. From a business standpoint they are right.
There are a few companies out there (e.g. Seagate) which has an
amazingly high percentage of the "Enterprise" class market. But they
also produce commodity hardware because, well, there's good money in
it.
Basically, this started because someone was putting commodity drives
in an enterprise environment. That's not the "right" thing to do so
you hear a lot of whining.
But that doesn't mean I only buy the best of the best; it depends on
what you want to use it for. On a production system? Only the best.
On the other hand, I buy the cheapest piece of crap computer
(typically e-machines) for the software engineers that work for me.
Why? They're fast enough, everything of interest is on the file
server and when (when, not if) they break, we just throw them out and
get a new one. Repair is simply not worth it on a $400 computer.
And no, I don't put Seagate drives in those things.

Gentlepersons:
Environment:
Stand Alone G4 with OSX 10.2.8 Server. No connected client machines. Server
is co-located at ISP office and wired in as bnet93.poncacity.net. I access
it from home through a 2 way satellite connection (different ISP)
Static IP Address: 63.76.244.93
Registered domain name: tradersbend.com
MX record is 10 taovaya.tradersbend.com
Running apache2, php, mySQL, appleMail
There are half a dozen or so "registered users" with email accounts, which
work fine. Web pages are properly served to any browser.
Problem:
In response to a person "doing something" on a web page, php generates a
confirmation email that should go to that person from one of the registered
user accounts on the Server (gallery, in this case). If the person is listed
as a network user on the server, all works well. If the person is not listed
as a user on the server, the confirmation email is bounced back to the
server's postmaster account with the "we do not relay" complaint.
Php Code Snippit:
//Prepare email notification of listing to Customer //
$msg = "Gallery Listing\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Name: Traders Bend Photo Gallery\n";
$msg .= "Sender's E-Mail: email@hidden\n";
$msg .= "Message:\n";
$msg .= "Thank you for sharing your snapshots on Traders Bend Photo
Gallery:\n\n";
$msg .= "$msgBodyCopy\n"; //previously prepared
$msg .= "Sincerely,\n";
$msg .= "Trader's Bend Photo Gallery\n";
$to = "$sender_email"; //the customer's email address
$subject = "Gallery Listing";
$mailheaders = "From: Trader's Bend Photo Gallery
<email@hidden>\r\n"; //registered user on the server
$mailheaders .="Reply-To: email@hidden\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
__
"gallery" is a registered user with email service. If I use that account
from my machine at home to send someone an email, it goes through just fine.
But when the php code above generates email to that person, it bounces,
unless the recepient is some other user registered on the server.

My dual G5 Xserve 10.3.5 regularly gives me blower warnings on my System
Controller, but only on the weekends when (I presume) the temperatures
change. When I check the temperatures though they match the ones I see on
weekdays.
I'm still mulling over if it is a hardware issue or the ambient temperatures
of the room really affect just the system controller...

Me too, I spent 2 hours on the phone with enterprise support on this
and other issues - still no resolution.
You can see what server are not working in the kdc log but that
doesn't help us on how to fix it - this is a bit worrying as we have
just put one into a very busy site and it is grinding to a halt at
least twice a day, always when there is plenty of of these errors
actual error:
GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (Server not found in Kerberos
database)
every 10 - 20s!!

You can make one realm per user with authentication and attach the
homedirectory of the user as the directory of the realm
Make it with serveradmin
Hope you don't have too much users !

OK, so you get the manage prefs but you just aren't seeing auto logout working.
Is there a way I can remotely access your machine to see how you have
this currently configured and to check how you've set this up
currenty? Is there either ARD or ssh connectivity to this machine?

Like it says, all I did was use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions
and restart. No problems since. Can't find the weblog, but here's a

Subject: NSUpdate and reverse problem
To: MacOSX Server <email@hidden>
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
I'm using NSUpdate to maintain manually configured machines in our
DDNS setup. Setting the forward works fine. However, nsupdate update
fails when trying to set the reverse. Error is...
** server can't find hostname.244.211.141.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN
I noticed that the DNS record's SOA is set to hostname.244.211.141.in-
addr.arpa, as opposed to the FQDN hostname.host.tld when configured
from the OSXS GUI. Most DNS records seem to use the later. Is this an
incorrect configuration? If not, how can I work with NSUpdate with it?
thanks,
Jaime

I got this email from a friendly Apple technician. Some of this is
basic stuff - I apologize, but still I found it useful to see what
Apple suggests.
What he did repeat several times is that after this procedure is
used, messing with the DNS via GUI will break it.
It is a good idea to back up the named.conf file before proceeding.
1. Go to the GO menu item.
2. Go to Folder
3. type /etc
4. locate the named.conf file, hold the option key down and drag to the
desktop
1. Make sure DNS is already setup, configured and running
2. Open the Terminal from Applications/Utilities folder
3. type the following:-
Sudo systemstarter stop BIND - press return
cd /etc -press return
Pico named.conf -press return
4. At the end of the options section type the following:-
Press Tab key twice
Forwarders {xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ;};
Min-roots 1;
E.g. The screen should look like this
// Declares control channels to be used by the rndc utility.
// It is recommended that 127.0.0.1 be the only address used.
// This also allows non-privileged users on the local host to manage
// your name server.
//
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 54 allow {any; };
};
options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
forwarders {153.107.37.21 ;};
min-roots 1;
};
5. Press the control key and o at the same time and now press return
- This
will save the document
6. Press the control key and X at the same time - This will exit the
program
7. type sudo systemstarter start BIND
8. Test DNS and the internet
This has worked very well for our server.

Is allow {any} in the control and other sections a security hole?
That's something I saw in my recent DDNS explorations.

Subject: Portable Home Directories under Tiger with AD
To: email@hidden
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
I'd like to hear any feedback or observations about using Portable
Home Directories under Tiger (with AD or OD). I hope asking this
client question is appropriate on the server list since it is a server
feature, and I havn't found an answer looking elsewhere.
I recently helped a client move several 10.3.9 clients to 10.4.2, and
in the process began looking at ways users could use portable home
directories. For the initial wave of users that we cautiously rolled
out Tiger for, there were no major issues, but for two users I just
set up, I ran into a problem with Keychains.
The user can login fine and their PHD is set up, but there are only
Documents, Desktop and Library directories created within their user
folder. What template does Tiger populate the user folder for PHD's
from? The real problem however, is that all applications refuse to
recognize a valid kechain.
I've tried copying the user's known good keychain into the appropriate
(~/Library/Keychains) location, I checked permissions on the files to
make sure they matched known working installations, I've tried to
remove the recreate the keychain using Keychain First Aid, but
applications that try to access the keychain still report "a Keychain
can't be accessed," and give the option recreate the keychain
environment. Even running through the "rebuild the keychain setup"
steps has no effect.
Any clues as to what might be the problem here? The clients are bound
to Active Directory using Windows 2003 Server, and are set to mount
the home directory via AFP.
Incidently, will OS X work at all with the user's Portable Home
Directory set to mount via SMB, which is the default? Seems like this
would be problematic, and while I understand why it's the default (as
most AD environments may not be exporting user sharepoints via AFP),
it seems like it simply would be rife with problems.
I'd be happy to hear what other Tiger Server admins have experienced,
or any suggestions on resources for more information.
Thanks

I've had problems with every drive brand. *EVERY* brand. If I stopped buying
drives based on problems by brand, I'd have to be using flash ram for
everything. Drive problems come and go. You get a bad lot. The bad lot goes
away. I've had good luck with whatever it is Apple has in my ADMs, and no, I
don't really care. They go bad, I make with the phone call, Apple dude
shows up with new ADM.

Power-cycle cleared it up for me the 2 times that it happened in 14

Well we have Maxtors Maxline III in all our webservers and they have
been thru a lot but never failed so far. And with a MTTF of 1 million
hours i feel quite confident in using them.
Choosing harddrive brands have a lot in common with choosing
computing platform. It´s a lot of discussions like this:
"Yeah they such and my drives are better! That´s the truth because i
´m the IT-guru that worked with HPC and know this, without any facts,
just take my word for it".
It´s mostly bull, there will always be lemons out there but they are
of course fewer amongst the enterprise drives. But look at the price
on the enterprise drives from the manufactures (yes, you can buy a
enterprise drive straight from the manufacturer) and compare it with
Apples pricetag for the same drive and it´s pretty obvious who is
ripping of who...

I am looking for a web content filtering solution that has a user

delegate that to a lab manager). Do any of you have any suggestions? So
far I think I'd like to use squid and dansguardian but I don't see any
nice way of configuring it.
