Ah, back to work on Monday morning, and the problem's still here...
IE is standard here in 4.01, 5.0 and 5.5 versions. Your question prompted
me to check if the version had something to do with it, but apparently not.
I'm on 5.5 and don't get it; a colleague in the same office, also on 5.5
does get it, while a third, on 5.0 doesn't get it. If there were a pattern
showing up anywhere, I might have an idea.
I hadn't even thought about NS. Anybody using a non-standard browser on an
IE-optimised intranet will just have to take their chances, I guess. I'm
not going to the clear text option even on an intranet.
Thanks for the thoughts,
Aidan.

Heh heh, this message came through the day after our Computer Services guys
figured out the bit about unchecking the anonymous access option. It's now
working--but... Some users get a dialog box prompt for username and
password (and in some case for domain as well) popping up when they access
the index page of the directory where the anonymous access option was
unchecked.
Is this meant to happen (after all, this is CGI.REMOTE_USER not
CGI.AUTH_USER), and if so, why doesn't it happen with everybody?
We're running NT4 with Option Pack 4, and we're partway through an upgrade
to option pack 6 as part of a rollout of Outlook 2000 and MS Exchange
Server. The thing is, I can't find any correlation between who's been
upgraded and who hasn't, and who gets the prompt and who doesn't, so it
doesn't seem as if that's the answer.
It's not something I can't live with if I have to, but I'd like to avoid
scaring the users if I can. If anybody's got any idea what's going on here,
I'd be grateful for suggestions.
