I would only allow connections from localhost if you place Apache on the workstation, though. Then again, her school could use a gradebook system other than Thinkwave that doesn't have them by the short and curlies and make them pay through the nose. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, ARM, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org No trees were harmed in the composition of this message, although some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.
