I think that's pretty significant, but that's just my take. The single user thing is a huge deal. And even limiting access on the file system to just the web directories, means that everyone who uses that account has access to everyone else's files.
What I'd like to see is the database and component functionality placed in a fashion that no longer requires RDS and can be secured by other more granular methods of access control, such as os/network/firewall (which all exist for RDS, but then you're right back to controlling RDS file system access again, which is silly if that's all that you need it for. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 10:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: RDS Plugin for Eclipse? > Well, except that RDS only has a single user...

Yeah, that was a giant step backwards for CFMX, although I don't think too many people used CF 4/5's Advanced Security functionality to control RDS access. > And doesn't RDS allow access to the entire file system as well? By default, yes, unless you limit the rights of the user account running CF - which is a very good idea even if you're not using RDS.
