No, it does work well with unix permissions, RTFM, Set up their home directories as owned by the user, group http. Set the directory permissions as u+rwx, g+srx. Users would not be in group http, but the web server would be. Set the umask for them to 027. Set the server up so that ~user resolves to users home directory. If you don't want it to be their home directory, you could change both the share and web server to resolve to something else. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
