That could be. But didn't they have a proper umask in /root/.bashrc? I just went into /root on the system and did 'touch test'. It created it with mode 644. This also gets checked on tonight's install. Just for grins I created public_html to see if apache would accept /~root and it did. So this potato system makes it easy for the superuser to have a personal home page :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
