5 Server Administration
Manage Mac OS X Server using graphical applications or
command-line tools.
These tools offer a diversity of approaches to server administration:
 You can administer servers locally (directly on the server you’re using) or remotely,
from another server, a Mac OS X computer, or a UNIX workstation.
 Graphical applications, such as Server Admin and Workgroup Manager, offer easy-to-
use server administration and secure communications for remote server
management. You can use these applications on Mac OS X Server (they’re in
/Applications/Server/) or on a Mac OS X computer onto which you’ve installed them
as described in “Setting Up an Administrator Computer” on page 122.
 Command-line tools are available for administrators who prefer to use command-
driven server administration. For remote server management, you can submit
commands in a Secure Shell (SSH) session. You can type commands on Mac OS X
Server computers and Mac OS X computers using the Terminal application, located in
/Applications/Utilities/. You can also submit commands from a non-Macintosh
computer that’s been set up as described in “Using a Non-Mac OS X Computer for
Administration” on page 123.
