I can top that. Last Friday instead of typing chown -R staff.staff * >from the /pub directory, I did it from the root directory and changed the ownership of every file on the system. Needless to say nothing worked quite right after that. Fortunately the machine hadn't gone into service yet so I was able re reinstall without to much problem. I suppose every admin does something like that at least once. FVA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
