I am just wondering if I can login to a windows domain using OS X ?? [ethernet :-D] My work has a domain controller on win 2k...

Yes you can (assuming you are talking about Active Directory). Panther includes support for logging in to windows domains, just like a CRAPPY wintel computer.

Not only that, Panther Server includes the ability to function as an Active Directory and/or NT domain controller!

In Panther, do the menus on the RHS of the menu bar behave correctly? ie: clock, displays, iSync, sound, ethernet, internet, etc... m.

I'm not sure that I've seen them--iChat, Bluetooth, AirPort, Sound, and Clock, in my case--behave incorrectly, but I have a couple of gripes about the AirPort menu which, firstly, still contains no link to the AirPort Admin Utility and, secondly, takes a half-second to display, whereas the other menus appear instantly.

They do in 7B74 yes. But one thing I dont' like is that my PTH clock is no longer on the RHS corner as it is in Jaguar. It appears to the left of from right corner to left - Sound, Monitors, iChat - I don't have any others mounted there.

For what it's worth, the following was posted over at MacInTouch today:

"Meanwhile, a MacInTouch reader confirms that Apple's Mac OS X 'Panther' release is finished, with Apple expected to start distributing disk images by Monday to selected groups."

Further confirmation...

jay1 · October 4, 2003 2:52PM

Sorry all i had to take it down. over 3 gb of traffic on my home comp. ill put it backup tommrow.

proud ibook owner 2k2 · October 4, 2003 10:20PM

Has anyone here had a chance to build Panther 7B59 (the one that supposedly allows you to perform an upgrade install from 10.1.x and 10.2.x)? I'm really curious as to how stable that version is.. I really hope Panther releases soon... I'm getting sorta anxious lol....

Just some observations to fuel the endless speculation:

The ADC site was down for maintenance for several hours last night.

Now, on the Download Software area of Apple's Developer Connection web site, the last seeded build of Panther (7B74) has been moved off of the main What's New page (it is still on the Mac OS X page). Xcode 7B74 and 10.2.8 6R73 are still on the What's New page.

fryke · October 5, 2003 9:21AM

What - you mean 7B74 is NOT NEW ANYMORE?! ;-) ... Still waiting for a new build on ADC myself... *sigh*

That happens automatically - 7B74 is over 14 days old now.
