A shot in the dark. Delete the file. Create a dummy file with ASCII content "This is dummy content". Set *ALL* permission bits to 0. Note the time stamp on the new file. Hopefully the culprit will throw a fit. If not, note the new timestamp(s). Should point to critical time if not explicitly to culprit. Can't claim full credit for last sentence. Based on a _Reader's Digest_ "life stranger than fiction" piece from [IIRC] >= 4 decades ago. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
