[mrtg] Re: User Access

[Strutt, Simon]

If your running NT and have the drive formatted as NTFS you can use file
security, I've no idea about unix.  I'd seriously consider moving pages that
want different user access into different folders (to make it easy to
manage) and permission the folders.  Set the SYSTEM account and whatever
user the server runs (plus the local Admin) in with Full Control, then give
the user the appropriate permissions.
Unless your server and users are using domains this can be a right effort,
as you'd have to setup each users login and password on the server to enable
them to view the pages easily, and it becomes a pain to manage.
Alternatively, you can setup unique logons for groups of users and
distribute the login/pass details.

Setup some test pages and have a play...

Hi guys
 

Can anyone give me any advice on setting up user access rights?  I have one
large directory containing MRTG output for many switch ports but only want a
user to be able to access the html pertaining to their particular switch
port.

 

Many Thanks
