Agreed, I see stupid hp devices even in enterprise printers they broadcast adhoc 802.11. Really annoying they make that default, but they treat wifi like bluetooth, and in fact i think it's because of the wifi pan standard being built into things like mice. Go figure, by HP. Only a win7 feat

You can deal with this on the server by marking a directory setgid (g+s) will make new files inherit the group ownership of the directory I believe. On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 8:51 AM, Dazed_75 wrote: > While I am totally unable to answer your question, there is an obvious > question to ask you. H
