it is to be noted, too, that if the sysadmin of the sqlserver installation has actually hiven the admin account an actual password, sqlsnake, a/k/a spida, can't do anything. i wrote a little about it last week: http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=66 -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
