Any program that updates a file and in so doing alters the security mask or deletes any ACL's or extended attributes of that file is intrinsically broken. If I have a source file to which I have assigned an ACL permitting another specific user to access the file, that ACL *must* stay in place. Likewise, if I have set a security mask to keep other users in my group out of a file, i.e. 0600, that security mask must be preserved. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ======================================================================= david.w.n...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
