Hi People,
Where I work, management in their wisdom are looking at IIS as an intranet 
server (which would probably expand to internet later). While this is probably a 
reasonable option in a mostly (99%) NT shop, I jus dona wanna go mickysoft any 
more.

It's a mute point for an intranet but security on an internet is a 
consideration. Does anyone have any credable references on security holes in 
IIS?

One of the attraction of IIS is that users can use their NT passwords to access 
a password protected site. I've managed to acheive this with Apache on Solaris 
(NT password authentication that is) and I believe there are modules that can do 
this with Apache on NT but Apache/NT is still touted as "unstable" so I'm 
reluctant to recomend that. Does anyone have any other suggestions??

Any other ammunition I can use?

Thanks
Peter Arnold
