so run mirror out of the user's crontab, rather than root's. refer to man pages for crontab(8) and crontab(5). alternatively, i believe there might be an option in the mirror config to set the ownership & permissions on files. see man pages for mirror and mirror-master for details. craig -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
