Christian, I really wish Mac OS X was for rookies, but it is by far not the fact. Actually, one needs considerable expertise to deal with the Mac OS X, because Apple does not follow the standards. It seems that most things in the /etc directory are just ignored. Take creating new users and groups. This facility is done through NetInfo, which is a LDAP-like binary file. This facility using commmands newuser doesn't work, so some scripters created scripts that dump the whole binary file to ascii, edits the ascii, and converts it back to binary. Other times, the directories for installs and libraries are stored in unnatural places (usually under the /Library tree or /System tree).
As for Apache, one would think they could click on the little jeweled button called start, but this is not the case. The http.conf has to edited, which cannot be done as root, but then root is disabled, and can only be enabled by using NetInfo facility (the LDAP-like library). There is a strong need for documentation in this department because newer users starting out will most likely have more difficulties. For me personally, I gave up and simply used Linux-PPC on my Titanium... - jm On Wednesday, December 19, 2001, at 06:00 AM, Bongiorno.Christian wrote: > I don't know much about mac X, but, did you check the hosts.allow and > hosts.deny ? > Maybe only 127.0.0.1 is allowed.
