This isn't true, a +x setting on a directory means that the class of user will be able to change into that directory. For files: r = readable w = writable x = executable For directories: r = can get a directory listing w = can create/delete files in this directory x = can change into this directory So, 711 for a directory allows the user who owns the directory to get a list of files, create and delete them, and be in that directory; and allows other users in their group and all users to be in that directory. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
