Re: QSERVER & IFS drive mappings question

[John Earl <johnearl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jamie,

You can use exit programs to regulate access to IFS directories.  There is an
exit point that can be attached to the SQL 'List' function that could prevent
folks from accessing anything that you don't want them to see.

PowerTech Toolworks has a complete exit point package that can be configured to
prevent access from a PC.  You can see more at http://www.toolnet.com
