Dana et al, thanks for the diplomatic response to my hotheaded mail. I hit
'send' faster than I should have and don't really think my tone was
warranted, but the airwaves are free and you can't take it back.
I think people should manage/administer any unice as they see fit and it's
not my problem. I just was flabbergasted because people complain about
problems but they don't even seem to try to have a clue about how such
problems originate. There is no sane reason to do everything as root and
much less to disable root password authentication. To whoever accused
me of 'dogma'---I say this: dogma is generally not practical in nature and
it's distinction is that it continues for the sake of its own survival
with no regard to what is useful. My comments were the opposite of dogma,
and were based on good computer sense. I am definately an old school unix
zealout I'll admit, but I don't think this impacted on my viewpoint at
all.
In any case, I apologize globally for the tone of the post.
^^^^^^^^
Let us now resume our regularly scheduled programming.:-)
P.S. For you beta testers out there, what do you think of the S.u.S.E.
6.0? Did you notice a performance boost with the new glibc? I have found
that glibc seems to be a bit faster--perhaps subtly so. Do you find this
as well?
P.S.S. Anyone using the new WindowMaker? If so what's the vote? I've
switched to E recently and haven't comiled the new src with my typical
zeal, so wanted an opinion on it, prior to slapping it together and
replacing 20.3. :-) as my back up secondary manager after E.
Cheers to all,
-M
