(i.e. to allow root to access a file that, on the remote machine, has permissions only for the owner of the file in question. [0700]) I know there was alot of discussion on this topic earlier in the year, did anything come of it ? And better yet, is it fixed in 7.0 ? I'm running 6.5 hp-ux on a hp9000s300 model 340.
