This will give you standard BSD file inheiritance permissions, and will kill any special ACL's. 'chacl -S .' will do the same thing except give you standard System V ACL's. Look at the man page for chacl to see what the other options are. You probably want to note the stuff on "directory inheiritance rights". You can specify both U (umask) and P (process) also. The '+' at the end of the ls just means that you have non-BSD/SysV acl's attached to it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David Snearline | CAEN Operations/Mac Systems | | davids@mondo.engin.umich.edu | University of Michigan Engineering | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
