I am having some security issues that the attachments module seems to address, but when I installed the filemanager and the attachment modules, I now see no option for attaching anything when I edit a node. I did check the access control and my user-type does have access to add attachments. Please help.

While I'm here...the private directory for file manager:
This directory has to exist and be writable by Drupal. This directory should not be accessible over the web
How is this possible? doesn't drupal run as apache, so if it's readable by drupal it's readable by apache?

Any assistance is appreciated.

1. Disable the upload module and enable the attachments module.
2. Give the appropraite user roles the 'add attachments' permission.
3. Enable the attachment capability under the content types configuration pages.

It was #3 I had missed. now it shows up fine. Thanks! but I still have access issues with this because of my private directory permissions...how can I set drupal to run as someone other than the web server? Thanks for the help
