I think, after Neil and Seth looked at it, we decided that I need to
give the www group write permissions for the file.

As far as upgrading to the latest OpenBSD, that's going to be a
different kind of project...  I'm going to do it on slightly better
hardware, use IMAP mail, install phpgroupware, and try to get the office
out from under the thumb of our POS NT server.  The only reason this
server is still around is because they use MS Messaging and calandar
functions in Outlook and it's the file server.  If I can offer an
alternative as flexable as my description, maybe I can toss that thing.
I also need to come up with a super easy way for the guy who babysits
the NT server to manage a file server and backups on the same box, or
another Linux or BSD box.

Normally I would probably automate the whole thing.  However, this is
sort of a political issue.  If this guy retains a certain amount of
control over the CAD files and backup procedures, the CAD users are
comfortable with him, and it gives me another guy in my court when it
comes to other things...  I probably manage people more than I do Unix
=P
