Brandon has been on a Firefly quote kick lately so I dug up some links for him, thought I would share those and some others with the rest of the geeks… Cool opening song This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and […]

What about PWD_NOT_REQD?? – Revisited

by @ Wednesday, September 9th, 2009. Filed under tech

I received an email with a script to clear the pwd_not_reqd flag that the author said he meant to post as a comment but couldn’t (old posts don’t allow comments anymore to slow down on spam). The post was http://blog.joeware.net/2006/06/29/431/ Fortunately, you don’t need a script to do this, it is a one liner with […]
