7:30 – 4:30 VISIBILITY

• Tentatively scheduled my Spider training for Jan 5 at 11:30
• Looks like you use the NET command to add users, etc using the command line. There are lots of options:
  • USER – see http://www.windows-commandline.com/2009/05/add-user-from-command-line.html, http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/net_use.mspx?mfr=true
    • net user myUserLogin myUserPassword /add
  • LOCALGROUP – adds, displays, or modifies global groups on servers. Used
    without parameters, it displays the groupnames on the server. see http://www.windows-commandline.com/2009/05/add-user-to-group-from-command-line.html
    • net localgroup myLocalGroup myUserLogin /add – add the user ‘myUserLogin’ to the group ‘myLocalGroup’
    • net localgroup Users myUserLogin /delete
• Once the user is created, then mkGroup -l > /etc/group and mkPasswd -l > /etc/passwd have to be run to make cygwin aware of the new users. Also, new home directories need to be made. Then the new user can telnet in and everything works fine.
• Spent a good deal of time looking at making sure that whatever framework we used could support debugging client code. I think the the choice is reall between two options. Either the debugger (and some/all of the dev environment) browser, or the browser runs in the dev environement
  • Running inside the browser means something like Firebug. They have the flashbug plugin, and my guess is that it wouldn’t be too hard to put in additional pieces if we needed too.
  • The other option is to run the browser in the IDE. The DJ Project seems to ba a framework that would support this
