Wouldn't making a executor group and putting the proper uid in /etc/groups and then doing: chgrp -R executor /usr/local/lib/executor/ExecutorVolume chmod -R g+w /usr/local/lib/executor/ExecutorVolume The files would then be protected without having to use root to run Executor. -- Paul JY Lahaie Internet: pjlahaie@achilles.net
