It's great :) Anyways, here is what I have to say/ask :) #1: I am runningNetscape's News Server on 2.1.0 flawlessly (so far)...It works great :) I find it a little easier to configure than INN, and a tad more flexible in terms of permissions. But all of the programs and config files are basically INN... #2: I need some way to be able to backup all of our unix machines (NetBSD and FreeBSD) onto a tape drive on an NT server...any ideas on how to do this? Is it possible, so that the permissions and file bits will be preserved properly? #3: Does anyone know of any good, free web search engines that will run in 2.1.0? I wanted to run excite! but the BSDI binary is for 2.x and oit just coredumped... Well, thanks! -- Dan +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | JRI HIS MIS Systems Administrator/Tech Support | |////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////| | danp@busstop.org dpolivy@jri.org danp@library.pride.net | |\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\| | Check out JRI's Homepage at http://www.jri.org | |////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////| | For More Info about JRI Health, call 617.457.8150, | | EMail health@jri.org or check out http://www.jri.org/jrihealth | |\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\| | Check out my NEW [Moving] WWW page (still under construction) | | currently located at: http://server1.pride.net/~danp | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+
