The ncutil project is an open source initiative to provide a method to directly edit the following parts of the SystemConfiguration framework of the Darwin OS:
- Dynamic network configuration: the user can modify parameters on-the-fly and the changes are noted without a restart of the entire OS.
- Configuration sets: the user can create multiple sets of parameters, termed "locations," which may be activated dynamically
- Centrally-defined, XML storage form: all parameters are stored in a central plist file; the multitude of files in /etc need not be modified
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.1.2:
- Version 3.1.2 fixes a glitch that existed when removing locations: the services for a location were not being removed from the preference store. This update also attempts to resolve some weird issues on Intel-based Macs. The Mac OS X installer package also now checks to be sure that the user is not attempting to install ncutil 3.1.2 on a pre-10.4 machine (ncutil 3.x requires Mac OS X 10.4 / Darwin 8).
