Seeking OS X Engineer for high-growth IT automation firm

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:05:01 -0700

I have an exciting Mac OSX Engineer opportunity at a high-growth IT automation software company based in Milpitas, CA.

Responsibilities: • As a member of the engineering team, you will work closely with small development team for the ongoing development of the Macintosh version of our Agent. • Development tasks including design, code, test, and support of new and existing functionality on an Agent running on the Macintosh platform. The Agent communicates via TCP/IP to a remote Windows server hosting our Virtual Server Admin (VSA) services. The server sends down command primitives to the Agent to perform rudimentary tasks such as writing a file, getting a file, executing a file, auditing the hardware and software on the PC, prompting a user with question and waiting for a response, rebooting, monitoring resources, and more. These rudimentary commands are combined to perform management tasks, such as remote controlling the PC, deploying patches, monitoring the resource utilization of the PC, installing programs, enforcing policies, and more.

802.1x client authenticaton

Hi,

First time poster.

Can any of you guys point me to some documentation (if it exists/ if it is possible) that can tell me how to 802.1x authenticate an OS X client which is added to Active directory?

I can authenticate users but I would like to be able to authenticate systems as well.

screen freezing

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:24:08 -0700

Within the last 6 months I purchased a refurbished iBook G3 and have had a lot of problems with it. The store where I bought it has fixed one problem after installing 2 new hard drives. My new problem is that when using Excel and Word 98 or 2001 (OSX) it always freezes up after a few minutes of activity. The tech at the store suggested I max out on the ram so I now have 640 mgs. but that still didn’t seem to stop the screen from freezing. Could it be that the G3 isn’t compatible with Office 2001, am I doing something incorr., or could it be a problem with the processor? I would love to stop going to the Certified Mac store to no avail. and spending more $$.

Java Swing - context menu

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:41:20 -0700

Did any one used context menu’s in mac? I am having issues with mac os. Here is the problem,

I have textfield and a pop up menu, i want to show the popup menu as i type in textfield. The problem is as soon as pop up is visible it is grabbing the focus, to type in textfield i have to use mouse to select it.

I am programatically grabbing the focus for textfield after it shows pop up menu. Still my textfield is not getting focus.

Does anyone know about this problem? If so could you please let me know how you fixed it.

Mac OS X Filename Limitation

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 14:56:37 -0800

Does Mac OS X have a filename limitation? If so, what is it and where on Apple’s website is this limitation disclosed? I think both Windows XP and Solaris 10 accept 256 characters, right? I’m trying to understand the following discussion: http://www.codecomments.com/Tcl/message730273.html.

gDisk, just like Apple's iDisk

Mon, 26 Dec 2005 08:05:50 -0800

Here is a little application that allows users of Google’s GMail service to be used like Apple iDisk.

Linke: http://gdisk.sourceforge.net/

I have been using it for several months, and have had no problems.

Dave.

Maybe I missed it.

Ever since Jobs’ speech from WWDC (I think), there hasn’t been any mention of Mac OS X “Leopard.” Might that be a surprise unveiled at Macworld SF, or has there been a hint of news that I missed? Perhaps it will pop up with the new Mactels?
