What are you talking about? Take a look here: --begin capture-- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ sudo mkdir test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ mkdir test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ sudo chown root.group1 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ sudo chmod 070 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ ls -l total 4 d---rwx--- 2 root group1 4096 2005-11-23 20:36 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:d]$ cd test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ pwd /tmp/d/test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ touch ano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ ls -l ano -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 0 2005-11-23 20:37 ano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ sudo chmod 070 ano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ sudo chown root.group1 ano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ echo wala>>ano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ cat ano wala [EMAIL PROTECTED]:test]$ cat /etc/group|grep group1 group1:x:20:user1 --end capture--- As you can see, user1, who's primary group is also user1, member of group1, can change directory to /tmp/d/test wherein only members of group1 can read, write and change directory into. Likewise, /tmp/d/test/ano, a file that only members of group1 can access, can also be read, and written into by users. -- Gideon N. Guillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take back the web!
