Hi there, I watched the Inspector Lyndsey mystery last night. At one point the sleuths were in front of a Windows PC needing to login and view the owner's photo collection. Luckily Inspector Lyndsey could guess the login password, otherwise the police nerd would have had to take the PC down to the lab for a long session with some special software.
I too keep my photo collection on the Windows partition of my laptop. It too needs a password to gain access, which hopefully Inspector Lyndsey would not be able to guess. But if I boot it up with the Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Live CD, I only have to double click on the Windows volume shown under Computer and I gain access without having to know any password. In fact, any volume, NTFS, Ext3 or Reiserfs is accessible this way. Are our systems really so insecure, or is something wrong with my setup? Looks like Inspector Lyndsey should never leave his Linux Live CD at home when he goes out sleuthing! -Graham Petley _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list [email protected] http://mailserv.megabyte.net/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list
