The problem is that the server on the Win2K machine will be running with SYSTEM privileges. The purpose of the Guest logon is to drop those elevated privileges, so as to minimize the consequences if a bad guy should find a way to corrupt the server. Once again, it would be better to run this on UNIX, where the technology is better defined/refined. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
