Thanks for the clarification. I think the recommendation is to not remove users/groups, since they may own files, and removing them might later result in a new [UG] ID being assigned and allowing access to a protected file. I reported this since it seemed like it was forgotten, though. Cheers, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
