How can you guarentee what every user & process on the system might do? At any rate, where did you get the notion that filesystem permissions have any measurable impact on IO?got your point, but *IF* the right users and processes could be guaranteed, then the file system should be modified more for speed+size and less for security.
DOS is a toy. I'm really hoping that this entire thread has nothing to do with your beloved FoxPro.the only last thing that scared me is those stack or buffer attacks which could enable a remote users to drop into a root prompt.
