Thank you. ;-) I'll check out the software.

BTW, does anyone have a URL for the "Yosemite" version of Apple's 
advanced system administration docs?

Does anyone know why the rsync that's in Yosemite by default is several 
versions downlevel?

Does Open DIrectory have any "denied" permission(s) that might be 
causing users whom are assigned to a certain group to lose ssh or sftp 
privileges?

Has anyone used the "Fink" package manager? Opinions? Gotchas?

More questions to follow ... and all suggestions are welcome! :-)

Bill
