Apple has just released a batch of varied updates, check details on each below.
Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 Update v.1.1 (978MB)
Leopard was updated to version 10.5.8 at the beginning of the month, and on that occasion Mac OS X Server also won the update. This did not become 10.5.9, but an “update update”, believe it or not.
Recommended for all Leopard Server users, Mac OS X 10.5.8 features fixes in the following areas:
- Reliability of AFP file services and Time Machine backups;
- Propagating system file permissions;
- Keeping the user's password history;
- Guarantee of consistent VPN output regardless of load;
- Spotlight indexing and memory consumption;
- Resolves a duplicate serial number alert for servers with multiple network interfaces.
