Thanks for that. I'll try it soon. (Hard disk crash means I'll have to reconstruct an ethereal build environment first.) Filesystem ACL will be in kernel 2.6 when it comes out, but I wont see that until Mandrake releases 10.0, probably middle of 2004. This patch will mitigate my paranoia somewhat at having to run a program as root from an untrusted login's home directory. -- Richard Urwin
