On OS/2? You were running pcboard in it's last dieing days. It was tragic end. OS/2 was more suitable but no one wanted to buy it they wanted windows. I used to work for them when they would have 8 instances of pcboard running on 386. ~sniffle~ that was the days.
Microsoft is funny. I could do this in FreeBSD and Linux right now. Isn't usb in linux/freebsd manageable via file permissions. I mean really. I want to disable access to the usb devices I will make a seperate group for the usb devices and lock everyone else out. This meets everyone's needs. the hobbiest who doesn't care the corporate who can lock accounts out. You just can't do that with Windows. that's the beauty of file based system.
Wow, I'm actually getting upset over all this. Why are critical equipment residing on the same segment as client machines. You can have client machines connecting to servers without opening up unneccesary ports. So that the servers still run. If the client starts blowing up then you know that everything is still going to run.
Anyone who allows a laptop and stops all services from running is asking to booted.
The frustation is great..... Can't fight it.... Turning green....
Man I remeber in 1994 I installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 compiled X and ran Mosaic for the first time. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Two weeks ago I compiled it again and ran it. What a piece of crap. Nostalgic, yes. Crap, yes. It brought a tear to my eye and I dumped it.
Well..... We are successfully using it since June of 2001 pre beta.... pre anything. We have not had a single problem with it except for printing. We solved that with Samba. It is really quite usable. Just don't run smbd with -d 10 and forget about it.:)

Uniquely enough our data processing that has nothing to do with the web is heavily constructed with perl. We love the flexibility of it. It doesn't take to long for a new person to figure out how our daily processing works.
In fact I have been looking into perl-xml for processing of scalc spreadsheets that our stores send to us every day. It has been a valuable tool and we would be up a creek with Windows tools trying to do the exact same thing.
Putting out fires almost ended my career. I've designed my role by putting myself in more design positions. That way they see me designing more things that add "value". Makes it kind of nice
I believe the ones that will manage have the ability keep on for life. Manage their projects/staff/code/execs. Have strong staying power. I've been doing this since I was 22. I'm now reaching 30 and I feel old. But I know that if I control my environment and put my self in a position that has a lot of say and authority and understand the requirements I will see a long future ahead.
Unlike Linux if you were to allow people to fiddle with the underbelly of Windows it would destroy the fine grained control that has taken over a decade to master.
Actually that is called the registry. You tell Microsoft you were touching the registry and your done. Go home, reinstall and forget that you even called them.
Wow you took that a little heavy. It was mostly for cuteness. I use GPL software all the time I've even written some. I do prefer the BSD license over GPL but I do believe that the BSD license can promote greed. Fortunatly licensing is not a religion.(There are times when it feels like though). Just think of this way. If Microsoft would not have existed the GPL/BSD licenses would have no meaning and nobody would care.
Wow, a distate for SCO sure can come back to haunt you.
SCO has an unbelievable amount links to other folders. I know that Linux and SYSV OS's have a lot a links. Look at/etc. I had originally come from AIX and BSD world and the filesystem layout was easier to work with.
I't wasn't just the links that was the biggest problem it was the first thing that I backflashed to.
What a miserable piece of soft links. Just finding your way around the filesystem is a nightmare. You think your finding the right folder then you find out it's linked to another folder.

you will want to try zabbix. very slick, easy and works very well. www.zabbix.com

vmware is in the ports I use it on my laptop. It actually runs really well.

We have asked all of our XP users to hold off until we can verify it. So this should be a good practice at any company

Morons.. Absolute morons. Heads should roll.
in that case the admin should be fired. You should never believe that a contractors network is going to be safe.
VPN's should never be inside a firewall. They should be protected just like any other connection.
We have 200 unknown connections to our network, do you think I'm going to trust that they know what they are doing or that they will be protected?
You lock em' down.
I'm a little concerned that you are using 5.x for production servers. Maybe you should upgrade 5.1 as soon as possible. :)

What do you mean. This works well with 2000/XP

goto KDE on FreeBSD. He makes a comment that they are getting it ready for the ports. I've been cvsuping the ports every 5 minutes. :)

Yeah, It's call FreeBSD. You can be up and running quickly with it and it comes on one cd.
Pull down the source tar ball. The shell scripts are called savepart and savedisk, it also has restorepart and restoredisk.
I was looking at the source and it has programs to copy to disk/partition/ftp server.
Just this last year. I know at least FreeBSD had this problem. I'm sure there was others.
Brett Glass is by no means a ex-MS Employee he has a long history on the BSD Lists.

The icky scoansi terminal.
This more or less is Microsoft trying protecting themselves. How could they bash something that they love so dearly. It's their holy grail.
