    "Redhat 7.2" versus "Windows XP"

    but you have to remember that essentially, redhat and xp are intended to perform two totally different functions, server-workstation. thus the arguement is always going to be biased depending on your intended use. if you find my advice useful, please rate me.

    one way of doing, (probably not the easiest, but the quickest one i know) install a MINIMAL linux distro on the same partitions as the ones you want to destroy. when you get ot partition, format them as 'fat' (so fdisk can use them properly) and put grub on a partition (instead of the mbr)...

    i reccomend the Bastille scripts. they are a set of perl scripts, very easy to run which use a series of questions to secure every possible hole in redhat (specially made for redhat) which you don't totally need open. it will shutdown every unecessary security hole in your system and also send...

    i don't know why the folder isn't there but if you want to try and create it yourself, just create a virtual directory in the webroot pointing to c:\winnt\web\printers (or whatever you windows directory is). hope this helps

    Network password programs

    this is a security lockout that cannot be changed on the win2k computer. you must access the server from either Nt4 or Win2k. this is because the IPC$ share is the named pipeline that the machines connect through and will not allow pre 2000 or NT boxes due to the lack of decent authentication...

    Tracking Users

    yes. go to security settings, and auditing policies. turn on the appropriate loggin methods. you can see the results in the event viewer. this will only work on the local computer.
