Here is how I setup my K12LTSP server to authenticate against a postgres database.

Ever wonder folder sizes in windows XP or on your server. Try ExplorerXP. One of my employee's showed this program to me so that I can determine how much space each user is using on my Novell server by folder.

I've always been frustrated with the permissions given to me by Windows XP. I finally found the solution the other day. MS set the "Simple Sharing" box checked by default in the Folder-> View box. Uncheck it and you get the permissions that were used to seeing in 2k if you are using an NTFS formated disk.

Just a tip I learned from Shane Hinshaw. If you press the alt (Windows) or option (Mac) key while selecting text in MS Word you can select a column of text rather than lines of text.

I recently lost the ability to change the IP settings on my computer and found the following post that was helpful at Scott's Newsletter Forum.
Basically the solution was get a copy of a good version of tcpip.sys, copy it to the c:\, and run the following commands form the command line recovery console. chkdsk /p del c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys chkdsk /p copy c:\tcpip.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys chkdsk /p

Thanks guys.
