How does this work? 705 means user has full access, group has no access and anyone has read/execute, I think that's right for 5. Isn't everyone on the system able to use the anyone permissions so that even though they're in hte group that has no access, because of the 0, they can still access the files because of the anyone access, the 5? -- Jon Schewe http://eggplant.mtu.net/~jpschewe jpschewe at eggplant.mtu.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
