I was tacitly assuming people followed an approach similar to ours. I suspect that the all or nothing approach to access control in many current environments ha been a big factor in restrivcting write access to the server. (Note that I'm talking as much of a policy/administrative limitation as a technical one). I suspect that a standardized method of access control would make the situation you describe (everyone an author) feasible (and probably desirable, but fo course, that isn't a technical issue). --- Gregory Woodhouse gjw@wnetc.com / http://www.wnetc.com/home.html If you're going to reinvent the wheel, at least try to come up with a better one.
