[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/greg] $ touch testfile touch: cannot touch `testfile': Permission denied I also know that a user can manipulate a file in their own home directory even without ownership. In other words, if a file owned by root exists in my home, I can delete it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ ls -l testfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 7 13:42 testfile [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ rm testfile rm: remove write-protected regular empty file `testfile'? y [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] $ ls testfile ls: testfile: No such file or directory Anybody know the answer to this? -- Greg
