The digit in question does *not* denote *all* users, but *other* users, i.e. not being owner or part of the group. It's perfectly possibly to own a file and not being able to execute it while others can. Whether that's useful is another story :) </nitpicking> Cheers, Knut _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
