Thanx for the reply, the reason I ask is because we're implementing
time/quota/user bassed access and it'd be easier, if when the user is denied
access he/she could see. It might still be worth while from the point of view
of administration, an administrator could then tell the users to press cancel to
see why they were denied access. What do you think?
