The high security mode is *not* designed for servers, as it assumes you
want to forbid everyone outside access to your machine.
It deactivates every service and changes ownerships of the directories so
users can't access other users' directories.
To work around that, either type "msec 3" to put your machine in "normal"
security, or do the following steps:
1- run "ntsysv" and activate the inetd and httpd services on boot
2- do a "chmod 0755" on these directories: /var/log/httpd, /home/httpd,
/home/ftp
3- the services will run on next boot, but you can start them now by
running /etc/rc.d/init.d/{httpd,inetd} start
