Sorry I missed this meeting.
I strongly advise against this, especially if you are using the extensions
to a Unix server. I looked into it for a client, and FrontPage appears to
me to be a big gaping security hole.
If nothing else, do NOT run FrontPage and/or the web server as root as the
documentation suggests. If you do so, you might as well take the password
off the root account !
The fact that MS even MADE this suggestion convinced me they do not know
enough about Unix security to trust the software.
