I think you mean 775... 764 will mean only the owner of the directory can access files inside it. Also, you can add the set-gid bit of the directory (RTFM), this will make sure that new files created inside the directory will belong to the same group the directory belongs to. You will also have to make sure that the users' umasks don't disallow creating files writable by group (i.e. 002 rather than 022). > hmm....you can do that with adding ACLs there are the change, insert and > delete permissions adding a rwc to a group of users will make all the users > be able to read-write-change (give a user or group access to change) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
