Re: How do I get usable file permissions using the IBM Web Administration for i5/OS on port :2001

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In this case it will be an intranet but I hear you.  But I am wondering 
if there are some serious shortcomings with the Web Administrator as I 
have had other issues. 

It is my belief that we need to eat our own cooking, and if we like the 
i5 then we'd better figure out how to make it useful in today's business 
climate.

But then again, I hung with OS/2 for way too long, too.
