Thanks guys! I figured it was umask that was giving me the problems. I'm taking a UNIX course (but it's being taught on a Linux system) and the book discussed umask. I never knew what umask was so I thought that it would make my system more secure. It did :)
Thanks for the more valuable tip about chmod. I was wondering how I might recursively change the permissions a certain way and you guys had the answer. Can you believe that I'm going through all this trouble cuz I need to view a Powerpoint slide? Thanks again. I promiss to read the man page on chmod thouroughly (printing it out as I write this). -- -------------------------------------------- ) Mark Wagnon ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ( Chula Vista, CA ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( --------------------------------------------
