i log into about 50 systems ... at any given time ...
and some per client#1 and other xterms per client#2
- switching between windoze/doors/xterms is extremely important/useful
- i'd login into 100 machines if i wanted to type passwd to each
and i will never use "passwd-less login".. if the hacker cracks 1
server than they can propagate to the rest of your boxes
and i dont like it when kde or gnome hangs... or if konqueror hangs..
panic panic panic... how do i unhang the hung x11 processes .. which one..
-- its major pain to login as user and su - root to each machine again
( i gave up on gnome ... too unstable )
- machines been up 3 months.. 6 months.. no problem
( too long that one sometimes forget the passwds )
c ya
alvin
- all that w/ kde-3.1.1a w/ 256MB of memory on k6-350 ... no problem
switches almost instantly
