Microsoft Services for Unix and OpenBSD

ubiquitin writes "If you use strings on Microsoft's Services for Unix (SFU) interoperability suite which was developed by Interex you find that it is largely composed of source from the OpenBSD 3.0 source tree according to a recent deadly.org article."

Another case of ignorance here...

With WSH, you can use either VBScript or JavaScript (JScript, if you wish).

Mapping shares or printeres based on what group a user is in is real easy. And at the same time, I can also map printers and/or shares based on OU membership, just to name one. How about mapping a drive just because they have a sound card? I can do it. Or shutting down the computer immediately because the amount of RAM in the system is below corporate standards (as in -- it was stolen!)

WSH & WMI have provided us Windows Administrators access to many system and user level objects that not many had access to (unless you like SMS or HPOpenView (read SNMP)). With these technologies, I can have specific information gathered during the logon process, which then is easily collected and can then be imported in to a spreadsheet or database (in fact, it can go directly into a database).

And *NIX shell scripting could be dependant on which shell you use. (KSH v. BASH)
