Hmmm... OK. % % I'm not sure, however, that this is a totally foolproof way of doing it, as % it would fail with any permission set (however unlikely) where the owner Would it? Suppose I were setting it to 007; that would be 0007 with the leading zero and should still be fine. % odgit was a zero -- perhaps you should be sprintf()-ing it? Heck, I'll take any advice I can get :-) I think, though, that the problem is that I'm trying to use a string -- if I can get it built correctly in the first place -- as an octal digit. % % Cheers! % % Mike Thanks & HAND :-D -- David T-G [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
