Sure. Make sure your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' files contain the local and domain groups and users you need (see 'man mkpasswd' and 'man mkgroup' for details on the '-l' and '-d' flags). Then use the '-R' flag to 'chmod' and/or 'chgrp' on '/' to set your permissions and/or ownerships the way you want them. You'll need to do this as the privileged user. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
