At the moment I have found only three ways to let IIS see a file at all: 1) chmod o+r; 2) Use Windows folder security manipulations to give 'user' IUSR read access. 3) chgrp Users ... (1) and (3) are pretty 'open', and I'd rather avoid the lengthy Windows UI exercise required for (2) if possible. . . Any suggestions? Thanks, ht -- Henry S.
