I’ve got an aspx page with a simple databound datagrid on it; some users get the page just fine. Others get 404s. If there was something wrong with the page, wouldn’t I get an asp.net error, instead of a 404?

For security reasons IIS6 can send 404 when in fact the result should be permission denied or forbidden. Someone trying to gain malicious access will not be alerted to the existance of a page that they may then concentrate efforts on.
I can’t remember if this is default config or needs to be switched on.
