Edit your ~/.bashrc :
#PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin
alias firefox="open -a Firefox"
alias l="ls -l"
alias la="ls -la"
and reload the .bashrc file using . ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bashrc
You might want to add the following line to your ~/.bash_profile in order to get the ~/.bashrc loaded at the start of an interactive bash session:
[[ -r ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

Create a terminal shortcut for Firefox:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin /usr/local/bin/firefox
or simply use the open tool with the application option -a Firefox:
open -a Firefox http://google.de
Mac OS X 10.6 ships with Apache as well as PHP5. This blog post describes how to activate it.
To run Apache: Enable Web Sharing in the System Preferences → Sharing.
Websites are stored in /Library/WebServer/Documents/
To activate PHP:
uncomment a line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
and restart Apache:
sudo apachectl restart
Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ and download the latest package of the x86, 64-bit DMG version of MySQL. Install mysql, the startup item and the preference pane. Then start MySQL in the preference pane and test it’s working:
To create an ssh shortcut, add the following text (adopted to your setup) to .ssh/config:
# You can add multiple blocks like this to your .ssh/config
Host rudolf
Hostname rudolf-web.net
Port 22
User rudolf
Protocol 2
Compression yes
ServerAliveInterval 15
ForwardX11 no
#LocalForward 20001 8.8.8.8:80
To connect to that host via ssh you can now simply type the following on the terminal:
ssh rudolf
Now to get a shortcut, mark the following text and drag it to the desktop:
ssh://rudolf
It will create a connection shortcut file. If you move this file to a subfolder of the Applications folder called terminal connections you have a convenient way to access your SSH connections via Spotlight.

First install apache2:
sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2-doc
Then enable the needed mods dav and dav_fs:
sudo a2enmod dav
sudo a2enmod dav_fs
and reload the apache2 configuration:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Now setup a directory for webdav access. You can do this by adding the following lines in the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default:
Alias /webdav "/var/webdav/"
<Directory "/var/webdav/">
DAV on
Options +Indexes
AuthType Basic
AuthName DAV
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwords
Require valid-user
php_flag engine Off
BrowserMatch "gvfs/*" redirect-carefully
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
php_flag tells php not to execute files when accessing php files on the webdav share.
Assume we have a file on Mac OS X on a HFS or HFS+ file system named XX.
If you want to see the content of the resource fork for the file do:
cat XX/..namedfork/rsrc
If you want to delete its resource fork:
cat /dev/null >XX/..namedfork/rsrc
If you want to see hidden system files (that have a dot at the beginning on UNIX systems) run:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
use false to revert the change.
sudo aptitude install openvpn
# open port 1194 (as shown here for the ufw firewall interface):
sudo ufw allow 1194
Alternative to this way: Use TinyCA (there are Ubuntu packages available).
sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
sudo cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/* /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
sudo chown -R $USER /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
cat << EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars >/dev/null
export KEY_COUNTRY="DE"
export KEY_PROVINCE="Hesse"
export KEY_CITY="Frankfurt"
export KEY_ORG="Your Organization"
export KEY_EMAIL="contact@example.org"
EOF
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
source vars
./clean-all
./build-dh
./pkitool --initca
./pkitool --server server
cd keys
openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key
sudo cp server.crt server.key ca.crt dh1024.pem ta.key /etc/openvpn/
After making changes to the configuration restart the server:
You can do this on the terminal via the full UNIX device descriptor:
hdiutil eject /dev/disk1s1
you might want to add -force to the command to enforce the operation.
