Susan: I'm not debating your point. I've found the software I use these days creates all kinds of new connections all over the place. Often, we find a lot of software piggybacks connections over HTTP, which require plug-ins (citrix, etc).
So, I'm looking to minimize my use of software rather than trying to see what's happening under the covers. I don't care anymore. What I like about UniAdmin is it works on Unix or Windows, so the same tool can administer both U2 products from anywhere I have my machine. So, I install on one machine and access multiple servers. Anyway, my priorities are to reduce exposing myself to even more software that only works 95% of the time. :-) Bill >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Lynch >Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 1:19 PM >To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org >Subject: Re: IBM DOCS was: RE: [U2] <sigh> phantom ? > >Bill, usually we do not load UniAdmin on client machines - only on the >servers.
