Just to be clear, if the permissions somehow already include 'write' for group or other, then this chmod won't remove that. I'd suggest this: % chmod 500 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld % ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld -r-x------ 2 root root 4040 May 29 11:20 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld --- Rodney Broom Programmer: Desert.Net --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
