One way is to use something like fairsched (search google). Note that I did not try it myself. I want to add to this thread, that although Linux is good for many tasks, and I use it for all my needs, it (and Unix) was never designed to host hostile (to it or to each other) users. Usually, most users also have physical access to the machine, which means they do not have to overcome Linux in order to cause damage. I currently tend to think that the best way to let hostile users use a Linux machine is by letting them login only to a private, well-designed (and implemented) UML (UserModeLinux). That is - give each one his own (logical) machine. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
