And it might be possible from an info panel in Finder? Click on the disk and do 'cmd + I' to see the info panel of the volume. At the bottom you might find this option that says something like 'no filepermissions'? I'm not in front of any computer at the moment and trying to remember how it works. So if I'm wrong here you will notice it in the info panel. Otherwise you should look at 'man chmod' in a terminal window and use your favourite shell. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
