Hey all,

Just wondering in Win2K server, when I share a folder, I set the share
permissions to full access for everybody, and then control access using
the file permissions. (Basically cos it cuts down on administration, and
I'm lazy.) Are there any security issues running this way, or is it much
of a muchness?

Thanks,
