Title:svn+ssh on mac osxProblem:Hello,
I've gotten my Ubuntu box to connect to subversion using passwordless ssh. I was able to do that in Ubuntu using the command "sudo su - cruise" to setup the passwordless ssh. Now I'm trying to do it on Mac OSx, I tried using the "sudo su - cruise command, and that doesn't work. It says that cruise is an unknown login. How do I setup the passwordless ssh on the Mac OSx?

Title:Backup the Cruise/Go embedded databaseProblem:The Go server maintains an embedded database that stores historical data for all your pipeline, stage and job runs. Rather than backing up the entire Go directory structure, its much more convinient to just backup the embeded DB. This article shows you how to backup your data in Linux.

Title:Setup environment variables for Cruise Agent on MacProblem:Normally if you run Cruise Agent on Mac by double clicking the application, it doesn't inherit environment variables from /etc/profile, ~/.profile etc. You need to use the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist to specify environment variables.
For example, if you want to specify ANT_OPTS environment variable for using Ant in Cruise Agent, the content of environment.plist may look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ANT_OPTS</key>
<string>-Xmx2048m</string>
</dict>
</plist>And if you change the environment.plist please make sure you logout and login again to make it take effect.

- Title:Agents do not get recognised on restart when anti-virus application installedProblem:
The original bug is http://community.thoughtworks.com/posts/5724dc11b1,
The problem is when anti-virus application installed on agent side, the agent always think it's a new agent, so need to approve it again. it's a bug in the current release, and we'll fix it in next release.
