4/12    Is there a way to make NT run a certain .BAT file everytime it boots?
        \_ yeah, what ever happened to autoexec.bat in NT?  I think it is still
           there right?
        \_ You can make your changes in autoexec.nt and config.nt located in
           c:\winnt\system32.
           \_ I think not.  From CONFIG.NT:
              REM Windows NT MS-DOS Startup File
              REM
              REM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NT
              REM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
              REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
              REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

12/5    I suggest CSUA buy a Mac and run MacOS on it. Maybe run Linux in
        a VM, too. I think students will get more bang for their buck
        trying to run services on MacOS than with "Just Another Linux Box".
        \_ On what basis? We do have an AppleTV, which we've yet to hack
           so it runs full OS X, but as a OS X user myself, I don't see the
           OS being useful for useful services except if we get OS X server

4/13    I use IE7 to browse a web site, and the server says the UserAgent
        string is
        "UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET
        CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)"
        Is MS bowing to the Mozilla community?

6/27    For anyone who's owned a G5 running OS X (10.3 or 10.4), how often do
        you need to reboot if it's being used as a workstation?
        \_ Occasionally you will run into the Windows NT syndrome of the system
           needing a reboot for a system software patch - I'd say about once
           every couple of months on a stable release, and once or twice a
           month on a new one.  Other than that, I have never seen a piece of

6/2     In the 'official' part of the motd it says ssh1 would be shut off,
        weeks ago no less, and yet it still seems to be on.  What up with that?
        \_ Whoever did the change neglected to restart sshd.  Fixed.  -jvarga

9/24    I have a directory with a bunch of image files names DSCNxxxx.jpg.
        What's the quickest way to rename them all to Dscnxxxx.jpg? (just
        changing the capitalization of the first 4 letters).

2/13    In NT or XP, is there a way to display the IP address of a remote
        machine when the remote machine is pinging my machine?  Thanks.

12/9    Can someone recommend a way to read the contents of a FreeBSD
        partition with UFS filesystems from a Windows box?  It's a laptop
        disk which won't boot properly by itself, FreeBSD doesn't like the
        USB case I've put it in very much, and I don't have a Mac handy. -John
        \_ You need an NT (I'm assumming you are running NT version of Windows)
           filesystem driver for UFS. Once that is installed you should be able
