SM has already suggested that they have some ideas for a multi-user WC under Unix, but that it would have to wait until 4.x was stabalized. I don't believe that what you are asking for would be a good model; no system user modifications should be allowed except under strict conditions. In any case, no web based system should have anything to do with system security; by design, the vast majority of remote access apps have no rights outside their own files (e.g. the nobody user).Tying the WC security model to the Unix user database is likely to be part of any multi-user WC, but the security should be left at the system level not within WC itself.John PeacockPat McCormick wrote: > > on 6/14/00 4:21 PM, Kelly Martinez at kmartinez@talk.smithmicro.com wrote: > > > We are proud to announce the first beta for WebCatalog 4.0.1.
