Gustav, Jay
Thanks for your replies.
Jay, fascinating reply :)
Gustav, I hear you. Yes, let's get o-matic out as an official v3.0 release
- that might be tomorrow after I've ran the tool through various distro's
and check it runs fine on them. I also want to give RDPsesconfig some TLC -
see if I can add some more generic distro support in order to better
future-proof it - that shouldn't take too long. Once I do that, I'll have
v3.0 ready to rock'n'roll.
Off to sleep now - laters ;)
Regards
Kev.
