Where can I document useful things to know as a Mac sysadmin?
I've recently done some research on the directory service tools on the Mac (dscl, dsimport, dsexport), and would like to be able to document them somewhere for all to benefit (and perhaps where my work can be improved upon). I see no advantage to putting up my own website to this end, provided that a good one already exists.
Are there any good Wikis (or something similar) where I can document, with text and images (screencasts would be cool, too, but I'm not counting on a place for that) useful things to know as a Mac administrator?
The sites that I'm familiar with that post Mac sysadmin type articles are:
- AFP548
- Mac OS X Hints
- MacEnterprise
- Macintosh-Admin*
- Mac OS X Server FAQ
I'm not sure if MacEnterprise accepts submitted articles, but the others definitely do.
* - Full disclosure: I am affiliated with Macintosh-Admin.
The traditional answer would be macosxhints.com. Though it isn’t perfect, it seems to be the best all-around Mac knowledgebase. It is geared towards end-users but there are a number of tips that apply to sysadmins as well.
