this was my thinking, but here's what happend # mkdir directory # chown nobody.users directory # exit $ touch directory/asdf $ ls -l directory -rw-r--r-- 1 username users 0 Jul 4 13:52 asdf note that "username" still owns the file, not "nobody" dispite the setuid on the directory. this does however work with setgid, but since files are created allowing only the user to write to files, neither of these options are helpful. -- love isn't in the brain children. it's blood blood screaming inside you to work its will - spike, buffy the vampire slayer "lovers walk" -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
