Sorry, that should have been groups, not group >Now i tried setting mmsitepass, and giving the same value in the web >create inteface.

Oh but I think it does, that's why it can't access the group None files. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
