My problem is, I fall somewhere in between. I've talked with people about this, but they all keep asking what do I want to know. The problem is I don't know what I CAN know, that is, I don't know very much about unix capabilites. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Mary P.S. Telling me to read the man pages is useless. For one, I don't know what to look up, and another, they're too vague most of the time.
