Default Question about permissions
Hallo, hallo!

At last I have found out how to display the "The Advanced tab" with the option to specify the permissions for a file (.mdb and .udl). (Why is it hidden like that in XP?)
     Who should have permissions except from IUSR and myself. Does this "SYSTEM" need to be on the list? Can anyone tell me something aboat security vis a vis WWW-sites and db?

Med vennlig hilsen grstad

You may want to take a look here:

It's a good idea to leave System in the list; this is the system account that by default has a lot of privileges on your machine.
Other than that account (and the Administrator group) you can *usually* remove the other accounts, except for those listed in the FAQs.

HtH,

??? I don't think that's normally the case.

Can you describe how you see this? Who is "all on any net" in this case and how do you / they access the share?

Did you create the share manually, or are you saying it was created automagically as well?

Hallo, Imar!

When unchecking the option "Use simple file sharing",
(in order to activate the security-tab) my root-dir C:
is set to share, open to all!

But how do you see that? Where do you see the permissions and the share?

I think that by default "simple sharing" means the drives are shared. The simple sharing option than simple hides the dialogs to manually control sharing. I don't think that by turning the feature off, your system becomes less secure; you just see how open it is....

You can remove the shares you don't like and set security options explicitly on the Security tab...
