I don't think that linux and samba will solve your problem either. If
they
have Read-Only access to the file, they should still be able to save
it or
copy the file to a new location. I use a Linux server with Samba here
and I
can control who has access to the folders and files, but I can't stop
them
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
encryption
options. But if they can authenticate to the computer then
they 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
document
publisher (word, excel, ppt, publisher, etc) to encode permissions
that
can prevent either printing or saving - however that does not
prevent file
access copying (and is specific to their apps). I seem to remember
that
Adobe 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.

tim

Any other way to do this then?
Of course this can be done. Depends on how much effort you are
willing
to 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.
Publish WordView
(with
"open for editing" disabled") in such a manner that it opens the
document
directly (ie. No browsing.) Only allow access from Thin Client
terminals
with no printer access (to avoid use of copy/paste). Oh, and put a
guard
there too because people have digital cameras these days...
You get the idea. This isn't really a technical problem, it's a
trust
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
1)
isn'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
toss
me.
