It should work. I did not tried it latelly. Perhaps you should also allow browsing the user home directory. Don't forget quota ! For CD-writting I use nautilus: Double click on "Computer" or "home" and then Places (or Go if you chose Start-> Browse filesystem) --> CD Creator. It cannot get easier than that. Maybe you already know that an internet connection does not stop "some" users to do what you want to prevent. Perhaps the answer is something that I do not know anything about: selinux (disabled by default in fedora2). Regards, Ioan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
