Hello.

I'm trying to setup a Win2003 server for hosting ASP.Net Applications in a
Shared Hosting enviroment.

With the "old" ASP I created a different anonymous account for each web site
and restricted the NTFS permissions on system and website folders.

With ASP.Net I set the <identity impersonate="true"/> in the machine.config
file and the ASP.Net applications works with the user rights on the file
system.

My questions are:
- Is there a way to set somthing like "nooverride" to avoid single web sites
to change this setting editing the web.config file ?
- Is there something other to set to restrict the single ASP.Net
applications ?
- I read that the Framework v.1.1 has enhancements for hosting and security.
It's true and how can I use this enhancements in my scenario ?
- Is there a way to limit the available namespaces for the single .Net
application (for example, I don't want that users loads applications on my
server that makes port scanning to other hosts, applications that reads
active directory and so on.) ?

Thanks
Andrea
