To be secure, you cannot allowyour webmasters to modify ANY WebDNA in existing templates, or to uploadnew templates with WebDNA code in them.Given the current state of WebCat and most other products like it, thismakes sense.The problem is it's so easy to use WebCat to do nifty little things justabout anywhere, that I find nearly *every* page of many sites will includesome WebDNA or another. Many clients are happy with having us do allmaintenance for them. An increasing number, however, don't feel it'snecessary to pay us to make (or approve) minor copy changes to theirwebsites, and I tend to agree.For ISP's and IPP's, the ability to set directory-level security optionsfor WebCatalog would be a huge benefit.----------------------------------------------------- Jack Baty jbaty@fusionary.comFusionary Mediahttp://www.fusionary.compity this busy monster, manunkind, not.
