I do not know that AllowOverride will give the level of control you seem to think you need over your users, but it does provide some. -- Hudd: 'I've just done this radio show where I never met any of the other actors and I didn't understand what any of it was about' Moore: 'Ah, yes I expect that's the thing I'm in.' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
