Hey bud you're on the right track just use the sticky group bit and make a secondary group for the db and all intended users. ie. qpasswd dbm chown <primary user>.dbm <path to DB> chmod 2775 <path to DB> In this fashion anyone who's a member of the dbm group has complete access. When finished the group is set to dbm for any and all files/dirs within. -- Jesse Jacobs, Supa' Noob :) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
