70410 2002-08-12 09:57:00 Ok i need help with MSN Messenger i now got LInux :D (i love it so much i'm addicted) but i've come to a sticky point i'm running from one side of the room to the other to talk to all my contacts/friends and they like me are getting ****ed off i tryed Everybuddy(only downloads my BLOCKED list) tried GAIM don't know how to configure can't find KMerlin what else?

Last if one of my users lose their password can i as root view it in the user managment area or do i just have to reset it?

that's all for now(i hope forever)

p.s. like the new forums - how long they being around?

70412 2002-08-12 10:41:00 Well Jun 10, 2002 4:52 PM was when I first registered here. So around that day.

Have a look at Jabber (http://www.jabber.org/) there is a way to use that for MSN and ICQ, etc.

Only bruce would know for sure, but i think i was either the first or second to registor here, about 2 minute after the "official" start

congrats on the linux convertion, i got a linux box on the other side of the room, there is a lot that linux simply does better, and a lot i got to learn before i have the network exactly as i want it.
Stable computers that dont need to be rebboted every time i fart near them rock!

70414 2002-08-12 12:10:00 Well May 16, 2002 2:10 PM was when the first user admin registered. -=JM=- (16)
70415 2002-08-12 12:13:00 Godfather registered before Chris as did Bruce and robo.

Jar Jar Binks appears to be the first to have registered in the way of users.

70416 2002-08-12 12:18:00 so God was the first outside of IDG, and i was the second?

I can handle being second to God!

BTW, -=JM=-, where did you get the list of who registered when?

70417 2002-08-12 12:32:00 Try clicking on your name. Then try modifying something somewhere ;)

I'm user 689
You'd be 623
robo 619
Jar Jar Binks 618 Jun 10, 2002 9:52 AM - first of the external beta

So yeah you went quite well in the registering. I've got an excuse though. It was during class so I couldn't register straight away. Not that I checked the email then or anything.

70418 2002-08-13 00:14:00 You can't view a user password. Passwords are stored in the encrypted form, and when someone logs in, the passowrd is encrypted and compared with the stored one.

As root, you give a new temporary password, and tell the user what it is. Tell her to change that password immediately after login.
