But frankly, after the kinds of stunts M$ is *still* pulling (see the article on Kerberos for w2k) they are attempting to eradicate every other OS on the face of the planet. And they just might do it. Then Unix will be just another university/academia OS. We'll all just sit around and reminisce on how great it was when there were other operating systems for PC's. Hey, people get obsessive over things they are passionate about. So, as windows continues to chip away at the Unix market, most people just sit idly by and watch. At least he's willing to do something about it. I only hope (and i believe this is true) that there are plenty of brilliant programmers who can overturn any roadblock M$ puts in front of other OS's. Like this Kerberos issue. What can Unix admins do to allow unix machines to work with w2k file and print servers now? M$ is trying to lock them out. Is there a way around it? -=> jm <=- Please CC me on all replies ------------------------------------------------------- "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly."
