You're exactly right, Richard. MacOS is based on BSD.
And if you have any familiarity with linux administration, forget almost everything you know 'cause they changed it in OSX...
Hmmm. I didn't try to "administer" much, but once I find and open up a terminal window, it pretty was just like being on BSD, afaict... I'm not a BSD (nor Linux) guru, but I typed things in the shell, and they did what I expected...
Yeah, the shell is familiar and except for a few differences between linux and bsd in some of the commands it's very familiar. But pretty much everything under /etc has been replaced with NetInfo. I'm sure it's great for guys that have a thousand boxes to admin, but it's a pain for just setting up one box. I guess I could spend a week or so getting familiar with all the command line stuff for NetInfo since the GUI is no real help. But it sure would be nice to just be able to edit the config files like I'm used to... Ed
