for the record the external firewire drive is a Yikes model G4 tower that was placed with the user while his G4 iMac was warranty serviced. iMac came back with a new hard disk and 10.3.6 installed I updated my iPods OS to 10.3.6 so that I could test 10.3.6 without installing it on my work mac (though I've had it on my laptop since it came out with out issues) As far as the computer is concerned when booted from iPod it doesn't seem to matter what respect/ignore permissions is set to. booting from the Yikes box which is still running 10.3.5 (which is a CCC'ed image of his iMacs disk prior to going in for service) and logging in as an admin user or root (which is what I tried first) and copying his results in the same end permissions issues when booting the iMac back to 10.3.6. As it is I've got his machine for only an hour or so late this afternoon (which is all he can spare it for) so I'll just image his old disk on to the iMac.

Re: strange Safari behaviour
Wll, it appears from my system log that I am given no option on DNS by my ISP - the wonderful Westnet. I have 10.3.5 running (always a bit scared to do a major update until I see what happens to others out there - Windoze habit of many ouches) and I have **no** DNS specified in the networking prefs. Extract from the 'system log' just now: Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Serial connection established. Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/cu.modem Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: local IP address 220.235.56.233 Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: remote IP address 202.72.191.162 Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: primary DNS address 202.72.191.199 Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: secondary DNS address 203.10.1.9 So this may be the reason that I haven't found any consistent behaviour with the Safari stutter :-) Do other ISPs serve you up their DNS like this?

The settings sent by your ISP are really just advice to your computer these will work, so you should probably use them. It should be possible to tell your computer to ignore the ISP provided settings and use a different DNS instead. That said, I'm using WestNet's DNS as well, and not seeing any issues, though I'm admittedly not currently at an OS/X box. -- Craig ringer

Probably not. It's more likely that there's a software problem on the affected macs that causes them not to properly pick up the DNS information supplied by the ISPs. Maybe manually entering the DNS server information works around the problem.

It's not very likely that they're doing that, no. In your case, the two IP addreses you get for DNS servers in your log resolve to dns1.westnet.com.au and relay1.westnet.com.au respectively. Both are within WestNet's normal IP address space. It might be worth specifying them explicitly in your settings anyway - just in case. For testing purposes, you might also want to try iiNet's DNS - 203.0.178.191 - but I don't know if you're allowed to use that for your regular DNS if you're not with iiNet. -- Craig Ringer

Re: strange Safari behaviour
Most people use their ISP's DNS as this provides shorter ping times and frequent requests are cached for quicker responses. However this doesn't mean you can't use another DNS server and I think you can use any you can get an IP for whatever the ISP. DNS servers are set to relay requests to and from anywhere so they should always be available to the public as long as they're not behind a router for use on a private network (some people set up their own DNS servers on their network to speed up serving and allow for greater control). You can even in your network settings allocate one of your ISP's DNS servers as well as a second DNS server that can be somewhere else. This might not fix the problem but at least would provide a fallback in case the problem is in any way related to your ISP.

Vlad James some WAMUG comments --- For the last few days each time I go to a website (from bookmarks, or a link, or typed in manually) it does not connect and I get a message telling me the server cannot be found. But if I try a second time it connects. A wider problem? Of interesting note is that we are beginning to receive reports from some users who have recently had to manually enter DNS server addresses on non-Macs to resolve connectivity issues. This may be indicative of a wider problem -- perhaps increased lag from many ISPs DNS return systems. snip more from WAMUG - My own browsing seems to have bad patches either for a whole session or part. Entering my isp's dns numbers had good and bad effects. It enabled smoother page getting for the most part, but my calls for streaming radio files from the BBC and NPR were delayed consistently. Interestingly, when I used the RealPlayer browser itself, instead of Safari and Camino, the files were served up properly - and then I was able to access them in Safari and Camino consequently.I guess OS X caches them somehow. I have experienced one session where the delay (stutter if you will) was removed by removing my isp's numbers.
