Be careful about 'nobody'. It can mean 'everybody'. For example, services than anyone can use sometimes run as 'nobody' (ie, the service "owns" root's mail), and you probably don't want to make it any easier for 'everybody' to read root's mail, as it may contain sensitive info. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
