There are a number of things I miss from NetWare. The permissions model was a lot more sane. You had a handful of universal permissions, not the dozens that Microsoft has. Inheritance was built-in, not bolted on after the fact, and very fast. (Windows grinds away forever if you change an ACL at the top of a large directory tree, as it writes new ACLs to everything.) Undelete (SALVAGE). Of course, the inability to do many things from the server console, the lack of server-side applications, and the fact that memory protection and task premeption were only bolted on after the fact in later releases... those I don't miss. -- Ben
