Yeah... I thought about that... but we're talking programmers here!!! ;) They need to change their DNS to be able to use the testing environment, and I don't want to have to give them administrative rights (for obvious reasons). Thanks for the input folks. I'll just make a couple of...

Hey folks, Is there any way to give a user in my AD rights to change his/her local DNS???

You my friend rock my world!!!! Thanks a ton. I didn't even THINK about that!

Hey all, I'm having a little trouble with my new laptop. I've exported all of my mail folders from my desktop into a .pst file and burned them to disk to transfer them to my laptop. When I try to import them into Outlook on my laptop it gives the following error: "Properties for this...

Thanks alot folks. Used the link that bcaster suggested and downloaded a quick little fix for it. I appreciate all your help!!!

I have a problem with my Windows XP box. I have two CD drives, one is a burner and the other is just a reader. When I've left my system running for a while they just dissappear. No idea why. I have to do a cold boot to get them to come back. I unfortunately have no idea how long it takes or...

Another good ftp daemon is proftp. Pretty much the same thing as WUFTP.

Ok... I know I have sendmail running. It's version 8.12.2. What I need to know is if it's Sun Sendmail or if the tech before me compiled open source sendmail from sendmail.org. I've tryed various thigs such as telnet to port 25, strings /usr/lib/sendmail |less, sendmail -V, and all I can...

Well put. Another thing you have to think about is what you like to do. Do you like to work with Microsoft or would you rather be working on UNIX systems? Same goes with the networks (although once you learn the fundamentals of networking you can easily figure out how to use all the different...

I've posted this in the Solaris forum as well. I need to know if sendmail on a Solaris box is Sun Solaris or if the admin before me installed open source sendmail. Is there any way to determine this??

Can anyone tell me how I can tell if I'm running Sun Sendmail or open source Sendmail on a Solaris server???

You can set a users shell in a couple of different ways. The best way to set it is in the passwd file. IE: user:*:*:* User desc:/:/bin/sh You can also set it in a .profile so when they log on it automatically launches their shell.
