3:26 AM - Mac OS X nfsd sucks

Yet again, nfsd refuses to work properly on OS X server.  I'm getting sick of this on and off bullshit.  The exports file has not been modified.  The server was rebooted after a security update and now nothing will mount via the xserve raid partition.

3:55 PM - Using Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) over SSH

 I had a problem with a server at work recently.  I used to use a hint from the macosxhints site to reverse ssh into my home mac.  However, I can't do that anymore because my mac is behind NAT.  What I needed was a way to connect to the mac at work which was behind a firewall (but not nat).  I had another machine running FreeBSD with SSH open.  

Solution:

Connect to machine one

ssh -C -4 -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 remotehostyouwant  Connect to work mac: 
ssh -C -4 -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 macatwork   

location: Home
