Trying to swim against the tide of M$ 'improvements' has been something I've been doing since 1992. Silly little things like when you remote access a local server which in addition to serving web pages is also displaying the information on monitors, and creating announcements via the PA system. Does the M$ remote desktop offering still switch off the local sound card 'to improve the remote performance'? I still use VNC simply to ensure the locals site is NOT brought down. And the local technicians have to log in via their own accounts so unless care is taken, NONE of the shares or tools they need are available because of the move to secure activity between accounts. ALL of the work being cone by these machines is central, and every user needs to see the same set of tools, and file system. They do not need to live in their own little world secure from other technicians and they ALL need to see the same desktop. Of cause where sites are not being heavily audited for security we can stick up two fingers and the only active user is root - totally politically incorrect - but it prevents the bulk of the problems caused when some 'developer' screws up something global after a Linux update. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
