Vertical Split for GNU Screen

This patch provides a vertical split feature for current releases of GNU Screen. The feature is designed to function in the same manner as screen's existing split command, but dividing the regions vertically instead of horizontally. Both forms of splits can be used together in any combination/quantity/order desired. Direct link: bz2

How to Deploy ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool (WAT) on Production Servers

Create a virtual directory ASP.NETWebAdminFiles in IIS that point to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles Open properties windows of the new virtual directory, make sure that it is configured to run with ASP.NET 2.0, and in Security tab, uncheck Anonymous Access, check Integrated Windows Authentication. After that, you will be able to connect to WebAdminTools using the following syntax http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=XXX&applicationUrl=/YYY in my case, it is: http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=D:\Tasks\Libranyon\Photonyon\&applicationUrl=/Photonyon Although I don't recommend to do it, if you want to access WebAdminTool from other computer, open WebAdminPage.cs from (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles\App_Code) and comment the following code block
if (!application.Context.Request.IsLocal) { SecurityException securityException = new SecurityException( (string)HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject('GlobalResources', 'WebAdmin_ConfigurationIsLocalOnly')); WebAdminPage.SetCurrentException(application.Context, securityException); application.Server.Transfer('~/error.aspx'); }
