There is no locking. Only blocking access to read the folder/file. chmod u-r foo will block folder foo from access to user under which this command is run. If you want to block access to file/folder to everyone other than the user who created the folder, you can do this. $ chmod go-rwx foo Read up on chmod. If you want advanced features then chattr. If you want to learn about locking you can read flock and lockf but it has nothing to do with your question. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
