If you have two different groups that need write access in a directory, the obvious solution, to me, is not to change ownership at 1 minute intervals, but to create a third group, and make the people of both groups a member of that third group. Then you give that directory write acces for that third group. - Mark System Administrator Asarian-host.org --- "If you were supposed to understand it, we wouldn't call it code." - FedEx To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
