I appreciate everyone's help. Yes, the docs did not specify I needed "g+x" for us newbies. :) Thanks again all. -----Original Message----- From: Michael W.

You should chmod that directory to 2770 (what you see now is 2760). The documentation assumes that the directory's initial mode is 0755, and if that was the case, the following the directions would work. However, in my case, the directory's initial mode was 0700, and the instructions left me with drwxrwS--- (or 2760) instead of the needed drwxrws--- (or 2770, note the lowercase 's'). Thanks to Jim Carroll for his help on that one (2003/02/10). - -- - -------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Michael W.
