You want them to be able to read but not save the files? Really, I would think that is almost impossible. Ability to read woud mean they can somehow make out the words, at the most basic level, they can then memorize and recreate the documents. That is an exaggerated example, but no matter what you do, as long as they can pull the document up on their screens, I do not see how you can control it from there on. Screen capture software, digital camera photos + ocr, etc come to mind even if you could somehow disable the ability to save and/or print.----Original Message---- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Daryl Ehrenheim Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 5:21 PM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: NTFS-permissions
I don't think that linux and samba will solve your problem either. Ifthey
have Read-Only access to the file, they should still be able to saveit or
copy the file to a new location. I use a Linux server with Samba hereand I
can control who has access to the folders and files, but I can't stopthem
from copying the data to another location. Go to the Samba website and
browse through the documentation, that might give you some answers.
Gotcha'. Thx for the hint.

The only thing I know of that works at the NTFS level would be
documentoptions. But if they can authenticate to the computer thenthey have
access
- which is probably not what you want.
Maybe when WinFS happens...
Yeah, "maybe" is the key word here. 8-)
Microsoft is doing work with the office suite that allows the
thatpublisher (word, excel, ppt, publisher, etc) to encode permissions
prevent filecan prevent either printing or saving - however that does not
thataccess copying (and is specific to their apps). I seem to remember
CoffmanAdobe is like that too.
Would anybody know if linux can do this somehow?
I'm thinking maybe setting up a linux server and using samba to allow the win-clients access to it, may do the trick. According to preliminary data (read as a short talk with the linux-admin over here while getting coffee [it's amazing how many interesting things and breakthroughs happen while getting coffee and/or happen around the coffee machine...] 8-) samba may offer this service.

Any other way to do this then?Of course this can be done. Depends on how much effort you are
documentPublish WordViewto make to do this!
2 ways come to mind.
1. Put hardcopies in a secured room under guard.
2. Create a secure, non-shared place to put these.
(with
"open for editing" disabled") in such a manner that it opens the
terminalsdirectly (ie. No browsing.) Only allow access from Thin Client
guardwith no printer access (to avoid use of copy/paste). Oh, and put a
trustthere too because people have digital cameras these days...
You get the idea. This isn't really a technical problem, it's a
1)issue...I do. What if the files are not word-docs? I'm looking for a more
generalised way to do this, file format-independent if you like. And
tossisn't practical.
I'm just speculating now and checking the options.
And I'm still grateful for all pointers and hints you guys care to
me.
