How can I setup a local network in order to use the (so to speak) networked OSAX?
I have to claim partial ignorance on this one. The short answer is "set up a
NetInfo network for your machines and administer it." I'm told that if you want to
do this without suffering an aneurysm, you'll need Mac OS X Server and its
administration tools. It's theoretically possible to do it using only NetInfo
Manager, which comes with the normal Mac OS X, but it's not pretty. If you survive
all that, the relevant folder is /Network/Library/ScriptingAdditions.
