You can use umask to set the default permissions when a file or directory is created by a user, but it does not, as far as I know, allow you to specify the permissions for files or directory created in a specific directory. And I don't think that there are any programs that allow you to do that. I could, of course, be wrong. t.irvine > > -- > H | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. > +-------------------------------------------------------------------- > Ashley M.
