webdav and spreadsheets

[dave morton]

ah, the old... read the fine manual

marc, now i understand a little more about imap. after some more reading, it 
does look very good for moving around all sorts of stuff.
i fooled with squirrel mail a few years ago, i was in love with imap at that 
time, but i was running into problems with port blocking on both bell and 
rogers, so i gave up,
i didn't realize that it could be used for more than email.

i may have jumped onto the webdav bandwagon too soon, as i have discovered 
our windows xp clients and linux users can all read/write directly to the 
site using excel, word, openoffice.org etc, but i am beginning to fear that 
i may have left my server open to major abuse.

i really need to rethink this. at least imap can be locked down securely. i 
am not so sure about webdav.

your other point that google can be configured looks promising. i may very 
well be trying to re-invent a wheel which already exists.

i despair if my tone seemed argumentative. apology given. i value the help i 
have received over many years from the group. i go back to a time on this 
group when we were all figuring out ppp for dialup on redhat 5

funny, i was thinking about the group member the other day who passed away 
about 4 or 5 years ago so suddenly. does anyone remember his name? he was a 
very accomplished unix/linux administrator who taught everyone so much. 
weird that it had popped into my mind
thx again
dave
