I have created a user called apache_user and made it a member of the root group, then changed the ownership of ipchains to apache_user, still no luck. I have checked out suEXEC but this will not allow the 'root' group to execute CGI/SSI programs. Any ideas / completely different approaches greatly appreciated. rgds and TIA Nick Reese Linux earns mindshare, Microsoft buys it... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
