The problem with this approach is that it is just ignoring the  
underlying problem: more than one copy of Firefox is trying to use the  
same configuration files at the same time. Your method is just  
tricking Firefox into doing this, without addressing the reasons that   [...]

Karl beat me to it and I pretty much agree with him.  The only detail  
I'll add is that the way Firefox keeps track of this is a hidden file  
stored at: 

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/{random  
string}.default/.parentlock 

that it uses as a flag. [...]

Are you using network home directories and having everyone log in  
with the same user? If so, then this is expected behavior. Firefox is  
trying to save you form the problems that can occur when multiple  
processes try to write to the same files at the same time. [...]

10.4.11 server, WGM, 10.4.11 clients -- I was going to switch from Safari to
Firefox as my main browser. I think someone mentioned this issue before --
when I try to launch firefox on 2 computers or for the 2nd time on the same
computer, I get the message "a copy of firefox is already open..... [...]

Dear List,  
We use Final Cut Pro and Express in our labs. Since we have folder  
redirection enabled we also reroute ~/Library/Caches to /tmp/, mainly  
for performance reasons and we could work it out for the Adobe CS3  
suite, Microsoft Office 08 and the iApps. [...]

are all these network home accounts logging in at the same time to the  
same server? 

 are you redirecting some folders locally?  
 are you running 10.4 or 10.5 on the server?

I don't know the app you are referring to but our application runs
better when the content is locally cached. Are you using a proxy
server, you problems could simply be latency.

I'm a little unclear on what you're asking. In DNS, the wildcard would  
be on the server side. The request from the client is resolved on the  
server side and the respective IP is passed back to the client. Since  
the processing is on the server side, any client should be able to   [...]

I posted this to the Apple Discussion forums but didn't really get any  
good replies yet, so I thought I'd ask everyone here as well.

The issue I'm having with Snow Leopard is that I can bind accounts to  
AD and on the first boot it works perfectly. [...]

I have a question regarding Macs and DNS.  Do you know if Macs have an issue resolving wild cards in dns.

For example.  IT.Office.domain.edu in dns is really *.office.domain.edu

Thanks

Anyone found a solution to connecting macs to  radius- wireless set up- authenticating using active directory.   Right now with each login to the mac  user is requested to login.   We are not using WGM on these macs.

At least one problem with this, is that without admin rights, you can't add a network service.     	--DH      On Nov 3, 2009, at 12:01 PM, email@hidden wrote:  > quoted text

You cannot configure VPN using networksetup.  Configure your VPN network, then use the gear icon (next to the + and - buttons) to export the configuration.  You can then have users open the vpnsetup.networkConnect file (or script this) for management/deployment. [...]

This is crazy odd. I just opened up the email to search on this very topic. I've been playing around with this, and have a little info, although its not too positive.  The network preferences panel allows you to export your VPN settings, but I can't find a way to import from the CL. [...]

I'm trying to figure out a way to setup a Cisco IPSec vpn from the
