This might work, but I think I'd try a different route. You mention "folders," so I'm assuming that you can restrict or exclude based on URL patterns. Conceivably, you could have a CGI determine the user and construct restrict and exclude patterns for htsearch: <http://www.htdig.org/hts_form.html> If you did this as a "wrapper" for the htsearch CGI (or in conjunction with such a wrapper), then you could nail down security pretty well--the wrapper could ignore any user input for the restrict and exclude fields and construct them correctly every time. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
