<snip> umask=22 is a bit safer (IMO) and only lets root (the owner and group) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ((i ment owner)) read, write, and execute but leaves (group &) others with only read and executepermissions. its more secure that way. your choice, of course, what access rights you wish to give... btw, umask permissions work by subtracting from mode 777 (rwxrwxrwx) so umask=22 sets the permissions as mode 755 (rwxr-xr-x) <snip> > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
