Explain, then, how to grant a process "the right to read files despite permissions on filesystem". Ie, the reason SBS can NOT read your file system is that it is mounted as you. Possible solutions: 1) Mount the filesystem so that the SBS process can read it. 2) Elevate SBS's priviliges so that it may read any file on the system despite underlying filesystem permissions. Do you see a third option? You have refused for some reason to accept the first as a solution, so you are leaving by default the option of "allow SBS to read my files even though I have not given it permission to do so via filesystem mechanisms" That mean, whether you like it or not, giving SBS root. Again, if you believe that is not the case, please explain how to convince the kernel to allow a process access to files it does not have permissions to access. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71700 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
