passwd root

Change admin password in OS X Server

to password osx osxserver by jtnt on Apr 03, 2006 1 Comments
Bad things can happen if you change the administrator password on OS X server the wrong way. The right way is to change it via Workgroup Manager (NOT System Preferences) or via this command in Terminal:

passwd admin

Flush DNS cache

In Terminal, type:

lookupd -flushcache

Change Default Screen Capture Format in OS X

to osx by jtnt on Aug 26, 2005
Enter the following into Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type *format*


In place of *format* in the above put any of the following, depending on your preference:

jpg
pdf
tif
png - this is the default

(There may be others. Feel free to add these to the comments.)
