The Worcester computer Co-Op could use a few. We are running out of decent monitors. We will also give you a tax deduction for the amount they are worth.

There are about a billion different ways to do this, and everyone you talk to will do it differently, I'd bet. For starters, this should work: find /dev/vc | grep -E "*([5-9]|1[0-6])" You should take a look at the regex(7) man page. -Jeff

Yeah. [...] indicates a character list, not numbers. So [5-16] means "all characters between ASCII value of '5' and ASCII value of '1' (none, you'd want 1-5, it doesn't work in reverse), and ASCII value of '6'. There's no logic about numbers in globs that I know of, so you have to work this as 5-9 and 10-16. Something like this ought to work: find /dev/vc -name "*[^0-9][5-9]" -o -name "*[^0-9]1[0-6]" -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Look both ways before you cross the network.

Re: [Wlug] Using SAMBA as a PDC

by Robert Schwein

Frankly it's been my sad experience that any vendor that has spent so much money into making anything so proprietary, and you WANT to stay with it (M$ directory) then it's likely it will be more reliable (and likely intentionally designed to ONLY be) delivered on that vendor's own proprietary server OS. However, had you considered introducing a different Directory Service, then your options would have been very broad indeed.

Ill throw in with this. I actually started to reply earlier but didn't want to start anything. but yes, I love linux, but it will never emulate proprietary MS functions better than MS.

Re: [Wlug] Using SAMBA as a PDC

As much as I'm gonna get land blasted for suggesting it, if they are windows machines, use a windows PDC. I've used a Samba PDC for a couple years and am switching over to M$ right now. It's a pain at first, but once you see the benefits and ease, you'll ask yourself why you never did it before.
