I'm sure they were correct on 6/2/92 for students/staff at the
University of Minnesota!  Considering you are in Germany, I would
assume that you do not fit those criteria.  
These prices reflect the discount that the University of Minnesota
offers its students, it seems.

Subject: Where to buy Turbo style 72-pin SIMMs??
Organization: Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 92 22:52:44 GMT


Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy 72-pin, 70ns SIMMs?

In the FAQs, there are 4 vendors listed with prices dating from back
in September.  I have called a couple of these and prices have gone
up since then.  I noticed though in the last issue of NeXTWorld they
list 14 vendors of NeXT memory.  Has anyone had any experience with
any of these?  Where are the best prices?  Also, I need to know what
kind of memory my NeXT came with (i.e. parity or non-parity).  How
can I check this?

If anyone has any information this would help me narrow down the number
of long distance calls I have to put on my phone bill (since I'm in
Canada, most of the 800 numbers don't work from here).

Also if anyone has any 8Mb, 72-pin, 70ns SIMMs for sale, please send
me a note with your asking price.

Thanks!!

	What you have to do is reboot the station, open the rom monitor and
break the boot process at the right time to boot into signle user mode.  The
specific procedure is outlined.  This is intentional, to leave a way of
recovering a lost root password, or to reboot and reset root after some
secruity breach or something.  However, one can also put a hardware
password, which prevents acess to the rom-monitor.  So any machine in a lab
should have a hardware password.  To get around the hardware password, you
have to open up the case and remove the battery, and let it sit for a while
while the capacitor discharges and the memory is then wiped.  Every machine
in a public environment should have a hardware password set, as a security
precaution.

	Other machines have locksmith accounts and other ways to recover a
root password, and they almost all require doing things on console in order
to work.

	The sysadmin manuals outline the procedure for recovering a stolen
root pasword, assuming that said theif can obtain a copy of the manuals, or
plead and beg on c.s.n.sysadmin for help.  Otherwise, not much.  A hardware
password simply means that it (Got to be PC here, when dealing with
Computers of Color) can simply remove the lithium battery and let it sit for
a while.

	However, this assumes that the thief is reasonably intelligent.  It
is more likely that it simply stole the computer because it was a computer,
without really realizing it's value, structure, traceability, or
usefulness.  NeXTs are quite rare (somewhere around 100k total, with very
heads-up users) and also do have those damn unix features like password
protection on everything.  A mac, or even better, clone, is much harder to
trace because there are more dealers for fixing things, more stolen, and a
rather sizable used market.  And it is easier to get things like keyboards,
mice, monitor etc for a Clone or Mac as opposed to a NeXT, and is easier to
fence, with established marketing channels for used computers.  Any sort of
add for a NeXT for sale is quite rare, simply because there are so few to
begin with.

This raises a question.  More than a few times when a machine has been
stolen, I've seen people post some sort of unique ethernet serial numbers
so that if the machine is hooked to the net, the machine can be found.  
How does one find out what these serial numbers are?

I've got the equipment serial numbers written down for insurance, but I
should probably find my ethernet numbers also.  If someone could post the
procedure for finding this info, I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks,

From the Terminal application:

  grep address /usr/adm/messages

It looks like:

   Mmm  d hh:mm:ss hostname mach: en0: Ethernet address 00:00:0f:00:ab:cd


	-Z.

PS.
You can boot in the verbose mode from the NeXT monitor, and read the address,
but you have to read very quickly	:)

	You have my sympathy, but this brings up a question a friend
	and I were debating.

	If a NeXT system is stolen, assuming that the owner had
	changed the default password, what could thief possibly 
	do with it?  He certainly can't log in, make a new
	account, whatever unless he wipes the HD and copies the 
	system to it--which he can't do unless he has access to 
	an accomplice with a NeXT to install it with (can you even
	do that?)

	In fact, he might end up taking it to a NeXT dealer 
	who would have no trouble spotting the serial number...

	<how many nexts have been sold, anyway?>
