Would it be possible to use a TRUSERS file like I use to run my Warp
4 FTPD? I can restrict access to directories with it and that's all I
would really need to do with IKSD isn't it? FWIW, I'd rather run an
IKSD than FTPD 'cause my connection is only a 56k and clients have
no way to resume a failed DL with FTPD but could with IKSD...
...and since when has Windows 95/98 had a real authentication type
login service out of the box? I would really like to know as I've not
been able to discover anything on my client's Windows systems that
can do this. If you're only talking NT or 2K I'll concede as I know
NT uses authentication and I have no clue about 2K.
Further, can we use a hostmode for internet access? If so I'd very
much appreciate pointers on how to set this up! It could be used in
place of IKSD if needed although I'd really prefer running a daemon.
Bottom line is I have OS/2, it's my main system for internet shared
connections for my LAN and IKSD for OS/2 would be "most cool"! If I
could figure out how to forward outside requests using NAT via Injoy
Pro to our UnixWare 7.1 server then I would not need this and could
just run IKSD on UW7 (which I plan to do for internal use anyway).
