Any problems will show up immediately ;) thanks, Rick httpd.conf is set for apache/apache apache was created by the install/setup stuff, is there a way to determine it's password, or, do I just reset it ? if I creata a user, and, do NOT set a password for that users: is there some default password ? or, UNTIL I set a password, that user can not log in ? sorry, I'm very new to multi user file system, takes a while to get used... ok, chown and chmod is fine, but, what tells me who owns what, what are the current permissions ? tia, Voytek Eymont SBT Information Systems Pty Ltd http://www.sbt.net.au/links/ phone +61-2 9310-1144 fax +61-2 9310-1118 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
