That's unusual - why the "4"? Directories with read but no search (1) are of limited use. (Not none - it's only unusual, not insane). | Directory ownership: "lesser user", "special group" where /etc/group | has "special group" members including the "lesser user", as well as | those who are expected to use the daemon, but not root. | Script ownership: "lesser user"; permissions 755 | Daemon ownership: root; permissions: 755 (always started by root). And the script/daemon _runs_ as the "lesser user"? If so, superficially the permissions look like they should work. -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ I couldn't think of anything else to do with it, so I put it on the web. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
