I'm having problems assigning rights to users on my server.  I used to be
able assign maximum to a directory and all of the sub-directories would 
automatically be assigned the same rights.  But now when I change the rights
to a directory, I have to go into each sub-directory to change the user's 
rights.  This problem developed after I added a new partition to the server
after installing an extra hard disk.  It seems that the problem is only with
the older directories that existed before the installation of the disk--- newer
directories seem to be okay.  i.e., a change of rights to a directory affects
the sub-directories, as expected.

Can anyone offer any help at all?  I don't read the net regularly.  Please
email me.  I'll post the answers, if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Scott.  (bsp@btr.com) )
