This last sentence would imply that Tomcat is running as tomcat:nobody, and not as jims:jims as you suspect. Run 'ps' to confirm. Also, check how you start Tomcat and see whether a user switch occurs there. : Is the a configuration parameter that will result in data : files created with a user of jims and a group of jims. Is there configuration : parameters that result in tomcat being able to read data files with the user : jims and the group jims. This wouldn't be set in Tomcat, but in the JVM itself. In turn, (IIRC) the base JVM has no way of setting ownership/permissions. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net/ tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com/ code scan -- http://www.JxRef.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
