That might be part of your problem. Unix isn't Windows. Windows isn't Unix.

Under OpenSolaris, you just need to "pfexec mkdir -p /whatever". Then "pfexec chown <me> /whatever". Then you never need to be root ever again to create directories within that directory. If you want to take it to the next level, then you can create a whole new ZFS filesystem instead of merely a directory. "pfexec zfs create -o mountpoint=/whatever rpool/whatever". _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
