Create a groupid for each project. Then, each user need only change group to the appropriate group (with newgroup) whilst working on the project. I believe that it's relatively easy to get standard System V to report per-group rather than per-user. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Internet: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: uunet!mitel!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-request@eci386) Psroff enquiries: psroff-request@eci386, current patchlevel is *7*.
