When a file is created, it is given the owner of its creator and the default group of its creator. For it to be "in" another group, chgrp must be called to set that group. Ben's suggestion was to make the files world-writable, so no chgrp would be needed, which is, as he said, very unsafe. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
