Sending log info to remote machines 2004-03-24 - By kim aldis
Back
well, let's have a think about why sfu is a very bad route to go down:-
Mainly, it's just not very good. Microsoft never really did understand why
you need a lot of stuff that makes Unix worthwhile, if they did they
wouldn't have left them out in the first place; if they really have suddenly
started to take them seriously, why don't they include them in Windows
anyway instead of hiding them in a cupboard. I've messed around with sfu on
and off over the years since they bought Interix. The tools are half-arsed
and badly miss the point.
'Robust scripting environment': cshell and korn shell? The cshell is riddled
with bugs and no-one with any sense would dream of scripting with it. Anyone
who's serious about shell, scripting or interactive, would go for sh
(scripting) or bash. But then MS couldn't endorse Gnu software, could they.
Telnet? No damn use without a telnet server, worthless for scripting because
it's security won't let you pipe passwords into it. You need rsh and a
proper rshd service.
The interop site looks like a good effort but it's a bit limited. Cygwin
gives you everything you need, including an X windows and there's a port of
KDE available for it if you really want to go that far.
