That won't change the access rights, however - and the group ownership already appears to be correct. I suspect that the problem here lies in the existing permissions on his /home/cvs directory, as it appears to be owned by user "500", group cvs, with 700 permissions. Only this mysterious user 500 will be able to gain access to anything in this directory as it is presently configured. I further surmise from the 700 permissioning that he is running at msec level 4 or 5, so getting that directory changed to 770 permissions in a manner that will persist for any length of time will entail setting up an exception entry for it to that effect using drakperm. -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "There are two kinds of people in the world, those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't." - Robert Benchley
