No. Sorry if that last bit was misleading. If you are not using security,
everyone who can reach your server can launch the browser if they
have enough resources. I've seen extremely variable results
depending on the code level of your browser and the cpu and
memory on the box it is running on, and whether you have correctly
configured the browser: cache has to be set up really high
(50,000 memory, 30,000 disk) .  If you are accessing it from another
unix box rather than intel, the cache is in the $HOME directory, and
that has to be really big (that's with Netscape, anyway).

Cordially,

Leslie, I am not running Security and am having some
problems with the web client(ie IY00449). Could this
be why?

My users just type in the ip address of my server in a
netscape window.
