Re: Refresh IFS file contents?

No, RDi can't bypass security. It just doesn't limit you to NetServer shares. All OS security is still enforced.

Yes. But I don't share the root. I simply limit the number of directories created in the root. When I create a new one (or an application does), I simply share it. I can't tell you how useful that is for me (and my users).

So are you saying that RDi "bypasses" directory security & permissions, and allows access to everything? Wow.

I assume when you say " go directly to the folder", you're talking about a NetServer share. That would be fine if I threw security out the window and shared the root. Otherwise, I'd constantly be having to create new shares.
