Just a quick note here: It is my understanding that if someone was to complain to the authorities about "pornographic" material (which I dare say was present from the comment about the collie!) then the *owner* of the system it is "publicly available on" can get into a *world* of trouble. The porn laws are neither rational nor logical. But it's also a *real* poor bet to assume that a DA can't make whatever you are doing fit. Paranoia about publicly readable files is probably justifiable. Not right. Just justifiable... -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com
