djbdns HOWTO for Mac OS X |
Posted by
pudge
on Wednesday March 06, @09:41AM
from the dns-for-dummies-like-me dept. mattsimerson writes "Looking for a more secure and reliable alternative to BIND for serving DNS on Mac OS X? Look no further than the article I wrote up on the topic. I use djbdns extensively in a large network environment (hundreds of thousands of zones and servers) and it works just as well on my G4 laptop. If you're a heavy duty DNS guy, you might enjoy my other DNS links." Excellent. I am just a dumb programmer, not a sysadmin. It takes me hours to figure out how to configure something relatively simple in NetInfo, so this HOWTO is very welcome.

from the ripping-is-only-for-pirates dept. Vishniac writes "It looks like Disney CEO Michael Eisner is accusing Apple in part for fostering music piracy, particularly with its 'Rip, Mix, Burn' campaign. Testifying before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, Eisner said that the ad suggests to people that 'they can create theft if they buy this computer.' Apple? iMac? Impossible."

from the aqua-programming-for-smarties dept. Marsee writes: "Mike Beam looks at two Aqua enhancements -- one seemingly frivolous and the other not: animated window resizing and drawers." O'Reilly's really invested in Mac OS X, and they often have nice articles for developers on a wide range of subjects in their Mac DevCenter.

Apple Licenses CUPS |

from the two-steps-forward-one-step-back dept. bmeteor writes: "Short and very sweet: CUPS is licensed by Apple. A boon for both Apple and GNU." CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is a system based on the Internet Printing Protocol for standardized printing on Unix systems. That's nice, but when can I print over the network to my Epson inkjet, like I can in Mac OS 9 with USB Printer Sharing?

from the i-want-the-windows-logo-on-mine dept. An anonymous user writes "I was surfin' around looking for a new case for PC I'm building and I cam across the MacSkinz site showing custom paint jobs for G4 towers. I think there's a certain irony in modding Apple products for appearance since that's so much part of the price in the first place. Gotta admit, they look sweet 'though."

on Thursday February 28, @10:36AM
from the now-with-super-bleaching-mega-action dept. MrGHemp writes "Blueworld announced the release of Lasso V, one of the most popular middleware programs running on Mac web servers. This is a major upgrade from version 3.6.6.2 and the first to work on Mac OS X. There are a variety of new tags, and a really nice implementation of MySQL. This is exciting for the Lasso community, because now we can upgrade our web servers to Mac OS X!" Maybe now we'll see a whole rash of Mac web sites that don't crash! (Sorry, that one couldn't be helped.)
