Those are all filesystem browsers/managers -- right? I've already told the person who asked that many such applications have that kind of functionality. In my initial question to this list, I said: > > I know that some filesystem browser applications like Nautilus > > provide at least some of that kind of functionality, but wondered if > > there was a somewhat simple, stand-alone GUI that covered that kind > > of thing out there. Do you know if there's anything like *that* available, rather than an entire filesystem browser/manager application that just happens to also have a way to change permissions on files and directories? Also . . . do any of the applications you mentioned provide a way to manage things like umasks or home directory default permissions? In my original post to this list, I had also mentioned that sort of thing: > > login.conf or adduser.conf configuration . . . though I'm not holding my breath on that. I rather suspect managing umasks in login.conf and user directory default permissions in adduser.conf is not something anyone has bothered to incorporate in a GUI interface. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
