Thanks, I didn't even know about that option.

There are a lot of ways to do this, but the one I would recommend is to change the main folder to be owned by a group that you, your wife, and the uid running the thumbnail script all are members of -- probably by creating a new group for the purpose. Then if you set your wife's umask to 002, directories she creates will be available to you and any other members of the group. Would I change the umask on the webserver or on her desktop? If on the desktop, then how does this work when she is booted into Windows? I do like the idea of this solution, but she doesn't even like shell access so .bashrc wouldn't be executed. Is there a way to set umask functionality somewhere else? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There are a lot of ways to do this, but the one I would recommend is to change the main folder to be owned by a group that you, your wife, and the uid running the thumbnail script all are members of -- probably by creating a new group for the purpose. Then if you set your wife's umask to 002, directories she creates will be available to you and any other members of the group. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
