If you’re running Apple’s OSX 10.5 or possibly lower versions as well you will inevitably notice that the Kontrollbase perl scripts complain about various things that are not an issue on Linux. As follows:

ROOT-(root@g5)-(/private/var/www/html/kontrollbase/bin)-ROOT

The solution at this time is to not use OSX as the main Kontrollbase server. Maybe some OSX diehards can check out the perl code and correct it for this OS but in the mean time I’ll continue to focus on the improvements for Linux.
