Subject: [ringlinklist] ringlink under NT
File access can be controlled by group permissions, directory permissions
and individual file permissions.
Can be as strict or not as you wish.
Although NT permissions are not "chmod" permissions, they can and do equal
the same.
The item you would have a problem with is "password". You would normally
password a "share"(hard drive) and
then use permissions for the rest within the "share".
Your Ringlink would be using a portion of a "share" that other Host users
would be trying to use. That would not be acceptable for the Host.
