I am not sure I follow, but I think you need ACLs to do that. Check out the setfacl and getfacl man pages.

I can find man pages on commands, like adduser and addgroup, but I haven't found any pages on file security. I would guess the command name would be someone's cats name (many command names in Linux sure don't make much sense<G>). With groups, I can see how I could setup a group of users that have access to each others files, but not how to have one user have full r/w access to a set of users files, without those users having more access then just their own files.

Try to solve it with group access: All files (including directory infotech) have rights 770, groupname e.g. infotech. User1,2,3 are only in the group "users", so they only can change their own files. Only user infotech is in group infotech, so he can update all userfiles. I hope this is what you mean :-) Regards, Sebastian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
