read, a file?  And what tool do I use to set that perm?

thanks

Without getting into another discussion of the merits of Fusebox as an

going to use it.

3. Use NT security.
The CF server needs execute permissions. The IIS user needs to be able to

of "read" permissions for the IIS user. If you configure your server with a
minimal set of permissions, source code reading exploits will fail.
