phpbb directory permissions on windows?

[JavaReb]

What should the directory permissions look like on the various folders in a typical phpbb install? I was looking at a server today that had phpbb installed on a box with IIS installed on it and many of the folders had read,write and modify flags set for the IUSR_MACHINENAME account. Im thinking this should be changed to read-only.

comments?

I'm not familiar with phpBB's installation, but have you checked their (phpBB) installation/support area? I would assume there would be installation instructions detailing any security/permission settings.

you shouldn't need write permissions for much of anything

users of phpbb are mainly writing to db, not to the filesystem

<added>always remember that windows is really stupid when it comes to perms. Meaning it really has little or no understanding of them.
