[thelist] IUSR_machinename - is it part of 'everyone' group?

[Canfield, Joel]

Yup, that's the rub - IUSR_machinename is local, and I don't think you can
add local groups to global groups.

Thanks for all the info (Scott as well) but I think the real solution is
educating the user - there's probably another way to access the info, but
he's a Perl scripter by nature and if this worked, he'd be done already. We
just need to find the appropriate tool for what he wants to do.

Don't get sucked in on this one.
IUSR_machinename is part of the everyone group on the local machine only,
(check it out).  If your share is off the local machine, ie on a network
drive, you will have to add that account to the domain users and then apply
it to the local machine, that is hosting the network drive.
My experience anyways.  Who knows maybe I am screwwing something up.

Good links, Mike. The MS link, plus others on Google seem to indicate that
IUSR_machinename is part of 'Everyone' which goes contrary to the behavior
I'm seeing. A script on one machine is being denied access to directory
information which gives 'Everyone' read and list access.

So far this is a one-time issue so I'm working with the user to find an
acceptable workaround. Thanks for the research - I can usually find what I
want at MS, but didn't find this.
