RE: mapped drive in W2K Pro. -- MIDRANGE-L

I believe you still need to restrict authority to qpwfserver so no one can
map a drive to qsys.

Don't get a false sense of security with CA Express and shares.  If someone
has an older version of Client Access they can still map a drive regardless
of netserver.

Maybe if you uninstall the LPP for the full Client Access that this will
prevent anyone with client access from accessing your as/400.

it's been awhile. By setting authorities to the autl qpwfserver, does
this still restrict who can see the directory structure of the iSeries?
Even if they can't see the dirs, with netserver & shares, can they
still set up a mapping? (looking for confirmation)
