Hi, I've been having persistent crashes since 10.4(average one per
day), but also coincided with the arrival of a new G5, so not sure
what is happening. I think it may be something to do with USB stuff,
so shedding peripherals like crazy, and have done an archive and
install. Daniel has said he is having some issues with sleeping his
G5 since 10.4.
Thefrogs problem sounds much more interesting, but wondering if
people have had any problems since 10.4?
I find I never want to switch back to an earlier system, and am
presently in the last 3 weeks of writing my Masters dissertation, so
not a good time to do serious work on the G5.
cheers, Susan.

I am running 10.4 with broad band.
I scanned some images but couldn't find them the vue scan program had
also to be reactivated from my serial number.
Then BTV Pro icon on the dock was lost.
I searched for my images and they were saved as aha.tiff in a folder
called Greek Holiday in my users folder as a new user. Other programs
have had to have their serials reinstalled. I feel I have been
hacked.
That sounds considerably more likely to be a problem with your install
of MacOS/X, your disk, or your filesystem.
MacOS X, by default, won't even accept incoming connections from the
outside world, and a hole in its firewall would be reasonably big
news.
Unless you have intentionally disabled that firewall, or opened up
some
ports, I would think it unlikely that an attacker could reach you.
Even
then, they'd have to find an exploit, or successfully determine
your ssh
password (if you opened ssh) to get in. That's not to say that your
theory is impossible, just that I'd consider it unlikely.
A badly behaved / badly written program, or just MacOS X going a bit
insane, is way more likely.
