It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 37425
interpreted = N
texte = Using NT with IIS, I set folder permissions that keep users restricted to their own files...HOWEVER!!!They can still screw something up to crash the WebCatalog service itself, then again I've done that once or twice.One time (at band camp) I added a [search] and somehow exceeded the memory limitations for WebCatalog, so it crashed. All of the sites were down of course, but most importantly it wouldn't have mattered who it was or what directory they were in when they did it.Point being, from my experience, NT and IIS isn't idiot-proof, but works very well with permissions v. WebCatalog's protect features. =)-----Original Message----- From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Karl Schroll Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 11:50 AM To: WebCatalog Talk Subject: ISPs and WebCat On any platform/version, can WebCatalog restrict users to their own directories so they can't muck with other sites on a server, or the server itself (i.e., can we prevent a user who maintains their own templates from causing trouble) If so, what platforms/versions can give this level of security?Karl ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
