Nothing to do with security on the webserver, it is only opening the page in your cache. FWIW, I've seen Apache sites that were very insecure and IIS sites that were locked down. Depends on the server admin.
I can guarantee you any server running Apache that I administered would be in much worse shape than one running IIS but then I know very, very little about Apache and a fair bit about IIS. Cheryl D.

It appears so. I didn't test that theory because I didn't want to deface someone else's site... but all indications were that I could have done anything. My thoughts... if someone is running a business like that, a competitor could surreptitiously redirect the hyperlinks to the competing site... My guess was that these sites were using IIS... and possibly an older version... since Apache sites seem more secure. Then again, that is just an armchair observation... a real hacker type could be more definitive. ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
