3Server Administration	3

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 are 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 49.

•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, set up as described in “Using a Non-Mac OS X Computer for Administration” on page 49.
