Ah, okay. A slightly bad example. How about 0711 (now a home directory, say /home/lewiz). I would like to have a public_html directory that is generally accessible. Since /home/lewiz is now executable is it not possible for somebody to do, say, cat /home/lewiz/.cshrc? They know the file is there (but can't use ls to see it) so can access it. Sorry for all these questions ;) -Lewis Thompson. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
