Mac OS X is different from other Unixes in several ways, the biggest is the dependancy on NetInfo instead of the flat files in /etc (actually /private/etc). One other difference is that partitions are mounted by the name of the volume, not by device name (Note that RH is moving to a similar system). This can trip up those used to editing /etc/fstab with entries like "/dev/hda2". One reason for this is that the entries in /dev are dynamically created at boot time, not by a MAKEDEV script. This means you can't be sure a given device will have the same /dev entries between boots. -- Charles Dostale [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator, Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street, Moline IL USA 61265 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
