Hello,

The problem is that sometimes instructing the client isn't enough. We deploy
proprietary lookup data with our application. Right now, we have to encrypt
the data at the field level. Having access to our raw data is not something
we want our clients to have.

Encryption works ok, but there is unnecessary overhead involved with this
process. Someone mentioned linking a database file to the security file
which, to me, seems like a practical solution...but that is only IMHO...=)

Best Regards,
Kevin Lingofelter

Jason:

This is a problem for everyone that owns a simple file server, no matter
what type of file is. :-)

For the first Rod message, I understand that the problem was direct access
to the file. Maybe Rod is using a os that don't have security (win98,...).

But I undestand that Rod's problem is the copy to another machine with a
'clean' isc4.gdb. And in that way, even if he don't owns the server, he just
needs to instruct the client for this subject. And it's up to his client to
protect the file, as he (maybe already) do with other files that security is
important.
