Hi Andrew, thank you for your answer.

I remember that some time ago there was a list member who did a somewhat similar setup for a school. The subject I think was something about WWWOFFLE and UUCP since he wanted to get the files into the cache via some form of "sneaker net". I might want to do that at least to a certain extent as well. > You are correct in guessing that WWWOFFLE cannot be made to act > differently depending on which IP address the request comes from (an IP > address is not a user anyway). OK, just wanted to check, it would have made things much easier. Of course, you are right, IP number does not equal user. But in my setup there will be a one-to-one relationship. > I think that the best solution is to run one WWWOFFLE per user without > having a master WWWOFFLE that they all talk to. I'll probably do the master copy nonetheless for making the "UUCP/sneaker net" part easier. Being able to get just a bit more security as you pointed out is also not negligible although quite certainly this is still not a very secure setup. I will brief the users accordingly to not leave their bank account statements ;-) or other things in the cache but use their normal dialup procedure for things a bit more private.
