Thanks much for the hard work!

I found this on a blog.

Quote:

Starting with Windows XP, a blank password is actually more secure for certain scenarios than a weak password. By default, an account with a blank password can be used only for logging on at the console. It cannot be used for network access, and it cannot be used with RunAs. The user experience of just clicking on your name to log on can’t be beat for simplicity. If you can trust everyone who has physical access to the computer not to log on as someone else or abuse the admin account, this is a great way to go. If not, you can always enable passwords.

Any thoughts?

Great Paper!

Hi Guys, can i steal a plug in here. Is there a guide or link here in the zone where I can read up on how to deal with setting Linux OS and linux software. I have settled for Ubuntu as just cannot seem to install Suse 10.2. Sorry for the interruption.
