BUT (and it is a big but folks) when my html page does a post to htsearch.exe a bizaar error occurs. htsearch returns a message saying the config file isn't found. now this is just a front for something far more sinister. everything has the right permissions. i have been working on this for weeks now - and i know it's not that. the ONLY way of getting it to work is to change the user that iis (ms webserver) uses to authenticate anonymous http requests to administrator. then everything works fine. nothing else works. even if i set the default iis user to be a member of administrator it doesn't work. so it's not standard win permissions. something on the cygwin site seemed promissing. the part of the documentation on "NT Security and the ntsec usage". www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html there is a section on process privilages and details about processes started under the control of cygwin. i guess htsearch falls into this braket since it links to the cygwin1.dll & cygz.dll. does anyone know a bit about process priveleges to clarify things in the docs (that seem quite hard to understand) or has anyone managed to get htdig to work with win2k or had any similar problems. *please* help me before i go mad. dave. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
