We're running AppleShare Client 2.0 and CAP 5.0 (with patches 1 - 3 applied). We have a need to put software out on a CAP server that people can run but not copy. I've tried setting the privs to execute only for the diffent forks without success - when I try to fire up an application on my Mac with the protections in the .resource directory set to execute only, I get the following message: The file "filename" could not be opened/printed (access priveleges error). where "filename" is the name of the application I was trying to run. Has anyone succeeded in doing this??? We have some site licences for software which we'd like to implement without having to buy a Mac to run AppleShare 2.0. Any help would be appreciated.
