Well, I turned off "nfs" in the Service Configuration app and httpd has 
stopped acting up.

I broke the cardinal rule of troubleshooting - do only one thing at a time 
and test its effects. I turned on 'nfs' when I first set up the computer 
hoping to get NFS access that I could use to log-in to the YDL box (no such 
luck). I noticed that 'nfs' was giving an error in the list of services when 
doing a restart and remembered that it was the only thing not "out of the 
box".

I think so (su). Otherwise it wouldn't work.

Now for more advanced projects...

1. get a file sharing system running that OS X Finder can access (whether it 
be Samba, NFS or afs over IP);
2. get an ftp server up and running;
3. get WebDAV up and running in Apache;
4. get a print server up and running (Canon i550 on a USB card) that can be 
accessed by OS X [preferably] without requiring special drivers (am not 
holding my breath on that one... I may have to resort to OS X 10.2.8 as my 
server OS?). I guess I could accept other drivers but they have to be able 
to do "double-sided" print jobs.
