I guess Goodwin's Law didn't kill this thread, as there was another posting after it was invoked ;-)<br>

Sorry, guy (you who started this thread), that you are frustrated with
the permissions and yur inability to get them to do what you want. I
did not follow your thread from the beginning, so I do not know what
your specific concern is. However, I can talk about my own experience,
which might help you along the road to understanding.<br>
<br>
When I began, I also had some difficulties getting it set up - by
default - to do what I wanted, which in my case was full access for ME,
as it is MY computer and ALL of the data is MINE. Period.<br>
<br>
Well, a long time of fiddling and chmod-ding the permissions of files
finally lead to an understanding of the setting of a default umask in
/etc/bashrc and my problems have vanished.<br>
<br>
I had to go back and correct the permissions of the existing data, but
all new files created now automatically have the permission I want and
I feel that my data is secure.<br>
<br>
I created a guest account on my system to verify this. I cannot look at
the material in guest and guest cannot get at my stuff, but both of us
can use the data (the cliparts, mp3, etc).<br>
<br>
I am not sure what yu are/were trying to achieve, but this has worked
very well for me after a bit of perseverance, learning and fiddling.
And I feel my data is secure and I can allow a guest to use my system
without me having to worry that he might accidentally delete my music
files, for example.<br>
<br>
Permissions allow you to do all of this.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/20/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ritesh Raj Sarraf</b> <<a href="mailto:riteshsarraf@users.sourceforge.net">riteshsarraf@users.sourceforge.net
