I'm in EXACTLY the same position. We run an ISP where our primary web server is a FreeBSD 2.2.6 box. If someone requests to use frontpage I have to go through the point-and-click hell of adding them into the NT server (Add a user into the domain, create a new folder, add them into IIS with both a website and an FTP account). This just turns into hell. I've been seriously thinking about installing the frontpage extensions, but I'm a little weary since this is a Stronghold secure webserver. People around the office have been saying that the FP extensions are insecure and buggy, but no one can point to any real examples.
