System-wide MTU 1400 setting?

How do I setup the interfaces to use MTU of 1400?
I have been able to add "mtu 1400" to /etc/hostname.XXX and got those NICs to set mtu to 1400.
However when I bring up the zones, the virtual NICs that get created in the process, sets the MTU to 1500.
Similarly in Veritas Cluster environment, when I bring up the service group, the virtual NIC that gets plumbed, also sets MTU to 1500.
Other than running a script to scan each NIC and executing - ifconfig <NIC> mtu 1400 - is there a way I can set the MTU to 1400 system-wide?
I need this setting for both Solaris 10 and Solaris 9 boxes.
If anybody has any input/suggestion on how to do this, please reply.
Thanks.

Unfortunately I am unable to debate why MTU is set to 1400. I have been requested to do that by the Architect/Network/Firewall engineers. Even the Windows guys have to do this on this boxes as well. Please if anybody knows how I can make this a system-wide setting without having to write a script, I would deeply appreciate it. Any engineers working at Sun who monitor these forums care to reply, please?

About the system wide wifi proxy setting

I'm currently using BlackBerry Q10, and I love it, just for you know, I turn from iPhone5 to it.
As I'm using it mostly inside China, the network connecttion is so bad, I need use proxy for accessing Google or Twitter service, so the wifi's proxy is very important to me.
But I found inside my Q10 system, the wifi proxy setting in fact is not globally effect, it works when open browser, but when I try to add my Gmail account or twitter account, it can't go with my proxy setting. That too bad.
is there any special setting to make it works, this is really importent to me
Thanks!

System wide default character set

Hi,
I moved to a new company few days ago where we use Tiger workstations and servers.
I've been trying to figure a way to set UTF8 as the default character set for a whole system, not just a user preference.
I suppose there is a way to do that, but I'm afraid I won't have more time to find it.
Any help is welcome.
thx fred

I've been trying to figure a way to set UTF8 as the default character set for a whole system, not just a user preference.
If you could explain exactly why you think you need to do that, someone might be able to help.
Generally speaking Unicode UTF-8 is what OS X uses by default for a lot of things. The exception would be the file system, which uses UTF-16 NFD. There is no way to change that.

Setting ALSA sound card system wide (rather than just in KDE)

Hi,
I've got an HTPC with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card running Arch x86. It has its own integrated sound card for outputting audio via HDMI, which is detected by ALSA as a separate device. I've managed to set it as the default audio device in KDE 4 (via System Settings). This allows applications such as Amarok and SMPlayer to properly output audio to the HD 4350's integrated sound card, but software such as Flash and MPlayer (from the command line) are still outputting audio to the motherboard's built-in sound card. How can I change this setting on a system-wide level? I've tried running alsaconf as root and adding
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 3
to ~/.asoundrc; I got the card and device numbers from aplay:
[htpc@exia ~]$ aplay -l

W2K8 & Win7 - Setting system-wide Trusted file locations not working

Win 2008 Network, Win 7 workstations.
RE: Setting system-wide trusted file locations
I have an application using Flash stored on a network location that accesses other files in the same location. This causes the security warning "The following local application... is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled..." I can add the location to the trusted sites in the Setting Manager and the warning goes away. It is not practical however to do this on every machine on the network. I have tried the FlashPlayerTrust directory and mms.cfg file and neither of these seem to work. Is there a trick to getting the FlashPlayerTrust directory to work properly. If I could get this working, I could create a script that copies this file to all machines on the network.
Any help you be greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,
Can you please provide just a little more detail?
* When you say "accessess", what API is being used? Are the paths to the other files relative, file: URI http: URI, other?
* In the FlashPlayerTrust directory, are you using the same path notation as appears in the Settings Manager? What's a sample {filename}.{ext} being used?
Thanks!

Using /etc/bash.bashrc to set system-wide alias

Hi,
I would like to set some system-side aliases and from what I read /etc/bash.bashrc is the correct place to put them.
However, it seems that the root account doesn't load this file.
What is the correct way to define system-wide aliases?
Thanks.

To be more specific, the aliases are not visible when I use a login shell i.e. 'su -'.
According this explanation http://stefaanlippens.net/bashrc_and_others this is correct.
So, do I need to duplicate the aliases in /etc/profile so they are visible from login shells? Or there is a way to define system-wide aliases for
login and non-login shells?
Thx.

Set system-wide Finder view preferences

I know that .DS_Store files are created in every directory I enter with the finder in Mac OS X, and that keeps track of the folder's metadata (including how is it being displayed). I also know that this command:
sudo find /Users/[USERNAME]/ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm -f {} \;
... will recursively delete all .DS_Store files insite the /Users/[USERNAME]/ folder.
Also, I know that when pressing CMD+J inside a finder window, selecting the configuration I want (40x40 icons, small-medium grid space, arrange by kind, text size 10px, show item info, show icon preview, background white) and selecting "use as defaults" will.. well, make it the default, and holding OPT will restore it to THAT default.
The thing is that, when I create a new folder, it doesn't take those parameters. And the folders that HAD .DS_Store files deleted keep that previous configuration, not the "default" one.
What can I do to set a system-wide, consistent finder look?
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Hi,
I think I remember a similar problem in Tiger yonks ago. I recall the solution was to make all the changes to the Finder whilst in an Admin account - this way the choices stick for all windows?
Worth a shot.

Set system wide default mailto url

I'm trying to configure system wide settings in linux so any new user will apply for this settings.
I want register my zimbra server with mailto links.
I've found some information here:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general-questions/48547-how-control-mailto-selection-firefox.html
but this must be performed by the user and I want to be preconfigured.
I also tried to play with mimeTypes.rdf, but it seems that there's no system wide mimetypes file. is just created when users changes something.
how can I setup that setting system wide?

I've found a partial solution.
create an application file, for example '''/usr/share/applications/zimbra.desktop''' with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=mail-message-new
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
Name=Zimbra
Comment=Zimbra
Exec=xdg-open https://my.zimbraserver.com/zimbra/?view=compose&to=%u
Type=Application
X-XFCE-MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
then modify file '''/etc/gnome/defaults.list''', find and substitute '''x-scheme-handler/mailto''' with filename you just created:
''x-scheme-handler/mailto=zimbra.desktop''
the caveat is only works with unity, if you use another wm probably won't work

Setting a System wide lock timeout (clx)

I'd like to know how it is possible to set a system wide lock timeout!
For example, I need that a transaction waiting for a row more than 10 seconds, was automatically rolled back!
I tried to use a trigger found in the documentation:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER resumable_default_timeout AFTER SUSPEND ON DATABASE BEGIN DBMS_RESUMABLE.SET_TIMEOUT(10); END;
but seems not to work.
Can someone help me?
G.

Steve,
your answer is complete, the problem I am facing is that:
1 - I should instruct my programmers of the usabily of this tecnique the SELECT ... FOR UPDATE WAIT n, so the timeout is faced from application perspective, and it isn't so bad, in fact every single query could be customized regarding the WAIT time!
The drawback is that if the programmer doesn't use this technique, the application waits for the eternity.
2 - A system wide lock timeout, in any case could force, in any case, a default behaviour, ...
3 - If you are doing a porting from a different RDBMS see DB2, that implements a db lock timeout, you should recode all the SQL, and the porting needs more review and testing of the application!
Thank you
very much

Change the file set icons system wide

Hello,
I am trying to change all my .html, .js, .css file sets, system wide. Right now they are all the plain boring white with text. If I go into a folder they quickly appear with their more colorful Dreamweaver, photoshop, etc icon, but quickly jump back to the plain white, boring icon. I know how to change the files icons one by one, but obviously that could take a while.
Looking for an easy way to change my files system wide wothout screwing anything up. Recently came from a PC and loving my mac (never going back).
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Still no :o)
The only way around it, is to wrap your conc process that generates the etext output either with another program or if its an Oracle Report based program, in the after report trigger. That will get a handle on the generated file, easy enough cos you'll know the requestid, and then copy and rename it to the same or another location. We used to do this for a payments process in the Netherlands localization we ship.

Setting up system wide EQ via Automator workflow

hello,
many people might have tried to set up a system wide eq, which is not as easy on mac as maybe windows. now i figured it out by using soundflower and AU lab - i'm sure there are threads about this already.
so when i'm say watching a movie late at night and dont want to disturb the neighbours i plug in the hdmi cable of the telly. then i need to go through the rigmarole of changing the sound preferences, starting soundflower and AU lab and load an AU lab preset that i made including the EQ settings, that cancel out the annoingly loud bass frequencies. how do i automate this workflow with automator? better yet could it be triggered by hooking up the hdmi cable? in reverse i need a workflow that changes the settings back for when the laptop stands alone.
obviously i've tried recording what i do, but automator somehow cant handle the part of getting into system preferences. and i also dont find options in automator for various system preferences menu items.
can someone please please give me a tip how to make it work. id be really happy!
thank you!!

"does anyone have any idea how to get into the system preferences in automator? "
Yes:
Launch Application > System Preferences
But realize that getting into a particular preference pane and clicking buttons via Automator will likely require an AppleScript solution. Watch Me Do does work, but the action is quite finicky and often misunderstood. WMD doesn't track and target buttons or icons. It targets screen location. If items on your screen move--sometimes by as little as a pixel--WMD will fail. No fault of WMD; it's just the way the action functions.
You may want to repost your question in the AppleScript subforum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_technologies

Urgent Assistance Needed: All Documents deleted after setting system-wide viewing preferences for Finder

I got myself into some trouble...
Following the guide here to force a default Folder view to sub folders: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/10488/system-wide-finder-view-preferenc es
Which is:
There is a simpler way.
In the Terminal, navigate to your $HOME directory: cd ~
Remove all the .DS_Store files:find ~ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm -f {} \;
Relaunch finder going to: Force Quit → Finder
Set your global preferences using ⌘J and press the Use as default button.
Now, every folder you open or create will have the new settings.
I now have the existing Folder structure in tact for Documents, but every single file is gone (in my entire Documents directory).
Naturally I'm thinking two things:
1) Oh no. I knew better than to go down this path without knowing exactly what I was doing.
2) How do I "get my files back..."
I'm not sure if they're just not viewable or if they were deleted. Essentially everything I've configured on the machine (From Apple login to mouse scroll reversal) has been undone. I don't have TimeMachine set up yet - I brought two remote hard drives to work today to get it done but they're both NTFS so I couldn't progress.
I'm reasonably technical but new to Mac.
Advice is greatly appreciated... I'm GREATLY distressed at the moment...
<Edited by Host>

Ok so "DS_Store files are used by Mac OS X to store folder specific metadata information." Supposedly they get recreated... except I didn't get a nice smooth transition of newly created invisible, instead every file on my machine is "gone."

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

Non-system wide DNS Lookups on RBL (i.e. logical groups supported)

Sun Java System Messaging Server documetation seems to state that RBL filtering can only exist in one of three files that are used for filtering based off of inbound connection IP address. My question is, can conditional execution occur for a section of one of these files based of destination e-mail address?
I'd like to have multipule levels of e-mail filtering using RBL and allow users to be assinged to the level of filtering they desire by joining a logical group which will enable a level of RBL filtering for that logical group.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as far as I can see, I can only have one system wide filtering set, so I can't possibly have one set of e-mail ids using 10 RBL (remote black lists) and another group e-mail ids using a smaller set of RBLs.
======= From the documentation =======
MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
ORIG_MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
PORT_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on IP number.
====================================

Alas, the RBL stuff is done before iMS even knows who the message is addressd to. That stuff is done at the initial connection phase, as our philosophy is to reject a message just as soon as possible . . .
After the message is accepted, then you can opt-in/out for things like spamassassin, brightmail, etc.
