Well, the problem I referenced in that original post led to my first UDF (that I can recall) - fSetM()! The problem was fixed in later releases of Kix, so I returned to using SetM(), but I still use that customization script on every server and admin workstation to this day. It lays the framework for lots of other complex admin scripts.
And - what do you mean we were all noobs "once" ? ? If we're lucky, we get to be noobs on a regular basis - learning new stuff all the time. 2 years ago I bought a Fibre Channel SAN to play with, last year was VM-ESX, and I just got myself a Cisco Access Concentrator this week and am learning how to use Asterisk to replace my hardware PBX here in the house.
Thanks, Allen (not Alan) for the memories!
