computer where the administration tools have been installed from the Mac OS X Server
Admin Tools CD. See “Setting Up an Administrator Computer” on page 124 .
You can run command-line tools from the Terminal Application (in
/Applications/Utilities/) on any Mac OS X Server or Mac OS X computer. You can also
run command-line tools from a UNIX workstation.
