Hiya, Dan-o!

Yes, I saw that little bit of news from yahoo on ie4.0 "final" version, downloaded it but haven't installed it yet. Perhaps tomorrow I've give it a whirl, I'll use the Ultra 2 w/dual 300Mhz and 512MB, just in case.

Haven't been by this thread in awhile, guess that's what happens when you get a real job. Doh!!!

Actually I have a problem you or some other UNIX/NT programmer can help me with. I'm trying to create a daemon to change a UNIX users passwd (yppasswd) from an NT box. We have users with two or more NT domain passwds and a couple of UNIX passwords. I'm trying to create a single password change program to get them all sync'd up at once. I have the multi-NT domain stuff working but UNIX is beginning to cause me trouble, since I don't understand the (undocumented) rpc calls for yp, anything else is pretty insecure and of course the libraries don't exist for NT anyway. So now I'm doing a brain dead pop3 style (open text mode) daemon, there has to be something better out there - any ideas?

I was wandering in the SUNW thread but it seems to have died down, along with all that Java hype from last year. Still waiting for that gigabit network drop to my house that would eliminate windows or any other OS, and "terminals" everywhere instead of "real" computers.

PS: Sorry for the off topic blurb, but I don't know where to look next.

An open question to Microsoft and Sun:

Why can't we all just get along?
