Thanks for your reply. I will try to experiment further with permissions. I have 2 more issues regarding permissions: 1. I have noticed that when i create a new user, that user has the ability to see all other user home directories. How can i stop this ??? So when a new user is created, they can see only their directory and no other user home directory. 2. i use winscp a lot. I have found that i get a lot of write errors on directoires. Has anyone seen this bug ??? If i login as root - i have no issue. But if i assign permission to be able to modify the directory explicit - it does not work. i get write errors and the user is unable to write. But when i flag user,group, and other writeable by all. The user still gets error creating and updating files -- but they are able to update the file anyways. am i missing something ??? thanks mjh
