Here is a much better explanation then I would be able to give: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suid#setuid_on_directories > - If the group for a directory has read/write privs but the files within > the directory have the same group but the privs on the files is just > read, can a user who is in that group remove the file from that > directory? > If the directory has group write access then a user could remove a file if they both have the same group membership, regardless of the group permissions set on the file. I would suggest some empirical testing to confirm this. -- brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
