Hi,

I am running a virtual hosting server. The configuration of server is
as follows:

Windows 2000
IIS 5.0

All the virtual hosting sites are running as seperate user ie for the
site www.xxx.com is running under xxxIIS and www.yyy.com is running as
yyyIIS. I have also taken some precautionary file system security
measures like the group everyone is not present in c:\ and directories
corresponding to sites. But at the same time I can not remove everyone
access from the full system, I will need to keep them in few
directories.
This can lead to an asp code that is present on the server to do stuff
like browsing through the file system, reading the contents of file
etc. For ex if I have everyone acccess to c:\winnt\system32 then any
person on the server can write code to view the contents inside
folder.
I want to know if there is any way to restrict the script belonging to
one virtual hosting site to access only the contents of that site.
example the site www.xxx.com present inside
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\www.xxx.com directory and can access only the
contents inside this and the child directories. Is this possible? I
searched the on google but could not find any link that gives me any
information on this. It will really be a valuable information to me.

Thanks in Advance
