I'm guessing the (unchanged) logic is something like: dirperms = fileperms; if (fileperms & 0600) dirperms |= 0100; if (fileperms & 0060) dirperms |= 0010; if (fileperms & 0006) dirperms |= 0001; > Again, that part of the functionality is not changed by > this proposal. OK; that sounds good to me. +1 -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
