Umm, not that I actually know anything about this, but I find it hard to imagine that a file written by root wouldn't be owned by root and would not exclude the user from being able to write to it. Why did you have to create a user file as root (not saying you didn't have to, just asking why)? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
