The same problem still exists on IIS4 (tested with SP5 -
didn't try on
SP6).

Still exists as far back as IIS3 also. (SP6a)

Can't reproduce the problem with IIS3 and SP6.

BTW: I'm running IIS3 on several servers without problems. I did not
want to upgrade to IIS4 due to the complexity of its internal
processes (and all those exploits that followed). My main complaint
is still that I do not want to run IIS under the system account as
IIS4 requires.

Anyway, a time will come when we need to upgrade to W2K and IIS5.
Does anyone have a comparison or analysis of IIS5 in respect to
security (data channels, posting acceptors, etc)?

Regards,
Frank
