Product Reviews at OtherWorldComputing.com
I’ve tried a couple different solutions, and my first “acceptable” solution was to control the remote computer via a VNC client such as Chicken of the VNC. I like CotVNC, and I use it daily at work, but for this usage, there was the annoying aspect of having to have a separate window open in order to do something on the other computer. What I needed was something that would just let me use my keyboard and mouse with both computers.

Paste escaped text
This is where the Terminal’s edit menu comes to the rescue. Indeed, since the Panther days, it features a “Paste Escaped Test” item, allowing you, with one swell key combination, to enter any path you desire, no matter as complex, all with the right escape characters in place.

The macosxhints Forums – X-Forwarding behind Router and SSH-server
Make sure the machine to which you are ssh’ing has
X11Forwarding yes
in its sshd_config file. If not, add it, then HUP sshd on that machine (kill -HUP
). sao02-23-2003, 02:27 PMprahn wrote:
Do I have to set DISPLAY variables somewhere?
No, if you use ssh -X, X forwarding and your DISPLAY environment variable on the remote host will automatically be set.You are using “ssh -X user@remotehost” from the initial xterm, right?
If X11 is running on your Mac then from Terminal you can “Run Command”
ssh -X user@host /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls
macosxhints – 10.4: Use rysnc to perform automatic backups:
On Panther, I used to rely on Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to schedule a daily backup of my /Users directory to my external FireWire drive. Now CCC doesn’t work properly on Tiger, I’ve developed a way of doing the same thing using the enhanced rsync command that comes with Tiger and supports forks. Hopefully this may help someone out while CCC is being updated.

Clones across the network
With a little bit of work you can have rsync cloning a primary server to a backup server. If the primary server ever fails, all you have to do is reboot the backup from the cloned system and away you go.
MacFixIt – Troubleshooting Solution for the Macintosh
Odds and Ends: Tip for getting a cheap Belkin wireless card to work in older PowerBooks
Tip for getting a cheap Belking wireless card to work in older PowerBooks MacFixIt reader Martin HOlley has a tip for getting a relatively cheap wireless access card to work with older PowerBooks that do not support AirPort Extreme:
He writes:
“I don’t know if other people have had problems getting the Belkin F5D7010 wireless card to work with a mac, but thought I would pass this along. I have a 500mhz TiBook running 10.2.8, which does not work with the Airport Extreme card. Online I found that the Belkin F5D7010 PC Card is Mac compatable (and only US$19.99 right now at a national computer store, along with a US$9.99 belkin wireless router). The card came with no Mac drivers and no information for mac setup. Airport 3.04 and 3.1 would not recognize it.
“Belkin’s tech support and web site were no help with this issue. But the PowerBook saw the card as a RaLink Technology RT2500 (the real maker of the card) instead of a Belkin card. Went to their site (http://www.ralinktech.com) and, yes they have a Mac driver. Installed thatand now works like a charm. A few hours of frustration dealing with the card, but for an older powerbook a US$30 802.11g wireless network is hard to beat.”
