Hi TJG. Thanks for the site. Unfortunately, I mis-typed in the previous reply and that should have been the 'first two links' instead of 'last two links'. In fact I bookmarked your site so I can re-read the material and I copied the code to play around with. Excellent example--it contains just what I needed to know, esp. since it replaces the dacl instead of modifying one. Now I can remove access for 'Everybody' by simply not including it in the new dacl. thanks! --Tim Arnold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
