If you cannot get it to work any other way on your test server, you should not go live with it. I have posted, several times, the exact procedure to set the rights to permit only the daemon access and others have posted how to give others in the same group as the daemon access.Most of the time, people thrash around with rights and eventually figure it out (remember to change the rights on the director containing the file, too ;~). Once they figure it out, they never have another problem.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
