Greg, The OP's question is a bit deeper than that. There are some files which are not readable by anyone other than root. For example, /var/log/messages which is readable only by root. The question is how to copy those things as well. (The above file is a bad example, since in this particular case you can add the user to the 'adm' group and read the file. But you get the general idea). raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
