I possibly do understand although my phrasing might not have been particularly precise. File permissions are as they are until modified firstly by any entry in /etc/permissions.easy and then by /etc/permissions.local for a system such as mine where PERMISSION_SECURITY within /etc/sysconfig/security is set to "easy local". Any User Account will operate with these permissions. Is this better? If I do find that I have a permissions problem is it then better practice to modify /etc/permissions.local than to change a files permission more directly? -- Stuart Neill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
