Have you looked at ACLs? getfacl setfacl etc? They do provide more fine grained controls. Eg: file owned by root:root, but you want user "popeye" to be able to write to it. eg: setfacl -m u:popeye:rwx,u:oliveoil:r filename rememeber to mount your dir with "acl" mount -o remount,acl /dev/hdX -- Ow Mun Heng Thanks I'll look into that but it seams more user/access orientated rather than giving me more elaborate permissions/attributes. I seem to remember that in Novelle DOS 7 199* they had security attribs/perms like create,delete,overwrite,move,read so that if you had only overwrite and read you would be able to edit a file but not delete it. Some thing like that around? Inoticed that vserver seems to use some sort of attribs but can't quite figure out how they work exactly -- [email protected] mailing list
