Layered modo Configs under OS X 10.10 Yosemite and later

Since Apple thinks it is boring to keep thing consistent we once again need a different approach to get the layered configs with modo to work in OS X 10.10

Create a file called envrionment.plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
The file should have the following content. Remember to change the paths in bold to your own locations.

<?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>Label</key>
    <string>my.startup</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>sh</string>
        <string>-c</string>
        <string>
        launchctl setenv NEXUS_LICENSE /path/to/license
        launchctl setenv NEXUS_PREFS /path/to/prefs
        launchctl setenv NEXUS_USER /path/to/user
        </string>

    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

To load the file without a reboot call launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist from a Terminal window. After that you are good to go.

MacPass - finally a nice OS X version of KeePass

It is not easy to find a keepass program for OS X. There is KeePassX which is oaky but looks like a bad port from windows and still lacks functionality. Then there is KyPass Companion which I also bought. And my honest advice is to stay away from it.
For its seven bucks it costs it doesn't give you more than a better looking UI but it still feels cheaply made and also lacks basic features. Why did I bought it? The beta phase ended (well at least for the developer) and I couldn't open the database anymore in KeePassX. So I bit the bullet and bought it to still be able to access my keys.
And now I found MacPass and it is awesome. It is still not finished and still has some UI flaws but it is freeware, open source and really looks like a OS X app. And the developers care about its functionality and the design.

MacPass
So if you are a Mac and keepass user give it a try.
