Hehe. You know it's all gone too far when your family and friends all have single sign on kerberos authentication from one of the several thin clients dotted about your home - just so they can check the web mail you have provided them....On Mon, 03 May 2004 16:00:34 +0100 Steve Searle <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Well I'm 43 and have 5 PCs/Servers in my study running Gnu/Linux. I started as a trainee programmer on a Honeywell maiunframe in '79.
And I know there are plenty older and more skilled than me.
Young'un.
I'll be 49 next month and I have a home network with 2 linux machines (RH9 and FC1), 2 NetBSD machines (1.6.1), and 2 FreeBSD machines (4.8 and 5.2.1). Oh, and one Win2k machine. But I'm no computer professional. The only formal computer training I've had was a FORTRAN class back in 1972. The rest I've picked up on my own.
And no - before you ask - I haven't. The kerberos authentication is happening in two weeks...plan, plan and plan.
