I sent Mitch a copy of the original posting, and this is his reply:


"You cannot install or run On Location on an Appleshare server.  To
index an Appleshare volume, mount the volume on the Macintosh, then
index normally, storing the index locally.  To allow sharing of this
index, copy it to an On Location indexes folder in the root directory of
the remote volume.  The ahred copy cannot be auto-updated.  To update
this index you must reindex a local copy and copy the updated index
back
to the remote volume"

-- On Location manual p. 19

Done in this fashion, On Location indexes do respect all privileges.
That is, it won't index any files in folders the user doesn't have
privileges to.  If someone with privileges distributes an index, it will
find files by name or by text that are in privileged folders.  Even so,
it will not let those without privileges view the files.  So we do a
pretty good job.

I don't know how Mac News screwed this up, but it's unfortunate and we
will ask them to run a correction.  In the meantime, I'd respectfully
ask you to post an update.

Now if I could only figure out how to post this to the USENET.  You have my
permission to post it.  I'm a total USENET novice, so I think I'll pass.

So I have.  Please send replies directly to him, as I'm no good at this
mail stuff!
