Re: Access pc file from RPG program

Chamara,

That would be extremely insecure.  Any two year old could bypass that
"security" (just copy the .ini file to the home PC) Not only that, but 
it'd be a major nightmare to set up and administer, because you'd need 
to get file sharing or file transfer configured between the PC and the 
server -- and all of the necessary security for that.

If you want to control which IP addresses a user can sign on from, use a 
firewall or an exit program.   If you want to authenticate their PC 
cryptographically, use a VPN or SSL client certificates.
