That would not help because msec would come along and change the perms back to 660. You could always use drakperm to override msec, but my experience with msec is that its best not to try to fight it. Just set the path to /home/chris/something and there is no problem. If you want to learn more about msec check this out http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
