If you're talking about a remote server, there is no guarantee that the same numeric group id number would be used for the same group on different systems, so even though a given user would appear to be in the correct group, that might still not work. You'd have to ensure that the numeric group ids were identical on all possible places where these files might be accessed or modified -- otherwise you risk allowing others to access information that they shouldn't be able to see, and you risk legitimate access being inappropriately denied. This is not a given in NFS server environments. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
