I'm not against use umask; I just didn't 'get it' upon reading stuff online. A link or two pointing to 'Umask for Idiots' would be great! Thanks, Eve P.S. For additional info, my setup is something like this: Directories 'accounting' and 'hr' are created. Groups 'accounting' and 'hr' are active in the system. Users have been assigned to accounting and hr group. Directories are then locked to those users with access to accounting or hr, respectively. Accounting and HR are currently set up as drwxrwx--T accounting drwxrwx--T hr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
