 * Hi,
    i use WP 2.9 and RS 1.1.2
 * Works fine, logged in users see the post, those who aren’t logged in get the “
   Sorry, you don’t have access”.
 * What’s happening is that authorized users see the attachment fine, but if an 
   unauthorized user gets the URL of the file, they can see it, too. Indeed, an 
   unauthorized user can browse the entire uploads directory and see all the files
   from there.
 * .htaccess file:
 * # BEGIN Role Scoper
    RewriteEngine On
 * RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
    RewriteRule ^(.*) – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%
   1]
 * # END Role Scoper
 * Could you help me?

 * The updated [Role Scoper Development Snapshot](http://agapetry.net/downloads/role-scoper_dev)
   contains several bug fixes related to the new file filtering mechanism. Can you
   give it a try and let me know if it corrects your symptoms?
 * To force .htaccess regeneration for existing attachments, you will need to go
   to Roles > Options and disable, then re-enable File Filtering.
 * By the way, the RewriteRules for file attachments are now located in wp-content/
   uploads (or wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files for wp-mu).
