seems like if any user changes their /etc/profile it would affect other users trying to access their data tried changing the permissions for the defualt user to umask 077 but nothing happened, the other users can still access the data. Have not logged of , just switched users to check whats happening, wonder if it needs a log off Thanks Onkar, this umask system makes life easier - so hope it works an additional question - what about additional partitions - like i have a additional data partition - which needs to be mounted (by clicking on it in nautilus) - is there somewhere i can restrict access there too. regards Ram _________________________________________________________<http://www.munsiari.com> Amazing Indians: Transforming lives in the hills<http://www.timesnow.tv/Amazing-Indians-Transforming-lives-in-the-hills/videoshow/4383022.cms>
