My sentiments exactly! I find mSQL to be a great tool. Having developed
quite a few Lite-enhanced pages (which work absolutely beautifully), I'm
ready to implement w3-auth but when I initially ran access.conf when I was
testing the engine, back a couple of months ago, I got error messages
accessing the data, so I'm running it now without ACL. It's still in the
testing stage, so I don't worry about security.
I do need pretty soon though to implement some sort of authorization
(read / write).

My system:
Challenge S
IRIX 6.2
mSQL v2 B5
NCSA httpd 1.5.2
