Could you point absolute newbies to an online tutorial that can get us 'up to speed' so that we'll get something from the meeting if we do show up? Jargon, file names, file locations, possible options/descriptions for the files, etc.
(Absolute newbie == I know that there's a file somewhere that I have to edit to allow or deny people connecting to my machine... at least I'm pretty sure... there's _got_ to be a file somewhere...) Thanks for any help you can offer (and for the help you hopefully _will_ offer). -Rich On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 10:59:52 -0600, Mike H Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > UUGe'rs, > I'm wondering if anyone has any specific questions or suggestions > for my presentation at this next meeting.
