You have to have a way to tell the script which user's data is in each directory. Is the directory owned by the user? Is there a config file somewhere with all the directory mappings in it? There are ways to do this, but they're not magic. The script has to be able to figure out what user is associated with each directory. Tony - -- Anthony E.
