Security Questions
- Is it really necessary to give the Moodle user permission to read and execute cmd.exe? Is that safe? Windows complains that modifying access permissions on system files could open security holes. Would it be safer to move a copy of cmd.exe to a non-standard location?
- The directory moodle\admin exists in 1.7 and 1.8, but moodle\spelling does not. Now what? One way around this is, rather than create a new Moodle user, use the anonymous internet user: SERVER\IUSR_SERVER where SERVER is your Moodle server name. What are the security implications of doing this?
