What you want to do is specify a folder for the users to store their common files. Then you create a group, put all the users in that group, chgrp that folder to that group then 'chmod g+s' that folder. This will create: drwxrws--- 1 owner group 4096 Nov 10 09:45 Foldername The "sticky bit" on directories causes every file created in that folder to be of the same group the folder is. This way each file will be owned by the last person that used it, but all users of that group will have access. Hope this works and I'm thinking straight this morning, Greg Felix ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
