I am trying to give a group of users READ privileges only. It seems that they still have capability to copy these files to thier local hard drives!!! How can I prevent the copy of files!!!
Thank you very much

I don't believe that there is a way. Read only files can always be copied

If the client machines are NT they could be set up as NTFS with the users only given read access to the hard disk. Alternatively you could try playing around with poledit to restrict their access
