Computers You Can Use to Administer a 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.
