Dumb question based on your comment of having most db's in one folder, about a week or so ago I reported that someone was hitting my servers. Well after figuring out that webstar allow/deny global setting requires you to drop the leading zeros in an IP address ie: xxx.xxx.099. really should be xxx.xxx.99. I have stopped them . They still come to the site everyday, and webstar stops them about 5 to 10 thousand times in a 24 hour period. Nice guys. But in the process of looking at the webstar logs and the webcat logs I see they went after my webcat db's before I got the allow/deny in place. Now they did not get served (I think and hope), but if you have all your db's in a folder named wcdata and you releam protected that folder under webstar, would the db's still work as being public for searches, replace and append. But this could provide redundant protection to the db's in this folder, if they tried to load them directly via a url, which is what they tried. Anybody do this?The reason I am interested in this is because a filemaker export is not converted to an omega file type (non-servable) until webcat touches it in someway other than a search. And I do have some filemaker exported db's that are just searched and never replaced, deleted, apended by webcat.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com =============================================== Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
