Hi, I'm having trouble excluding certain groups of people from being able to read particular groups. It's possible to do, but the access file seems to be growing exponentially :) It would be cool if: 1) CIDR notation for networks was possible 2) ! notation was usable in .access (and .servers for that matter) I'll get onto these if I get some spare time, but if anyone else is at a loose end <g> Faye -- Faye Pearson, Software Development Manager, ClaraNET Ltd.
