Why are you suggesting to change the mode to 777. First, the file seems to receive the content of a pax archive, so it is not an executable file. Therefore, *do not* set the executable bit. Second, why do you think anybody should get full read and write access to this file? It is difficult so tell what the desired permission would be, since the OP did not tell about the intended use of the file. If you still want to chown, I'd suggest to set the mode to 644 at most. This was the owner can read and write and all other can read it. If you care a bit about security, then: - only ever set the executable bit it the file is intended to be an executable: either a script file or a binary (aka load module). - only ever allow read when read is requires, only ever allow write access when write is required. Recommendation: UNIXes are case sensitve, you should adhere to this when writing down commands. Someone might copy and paste and wonder about an "FSUM7351 not found" error. Also, it is not good habit to use all uppercase directory and filenames. It is more usual to have them all lower case, and sometimes mixed case (especially when developping java code). -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
