If you're going to start messing around with *nix permissions, you really, really need to have a basic understanding of how they work. Otherwise, you can get into a lot of trouble really quickly. There's a ton of tutorials around the net; here's one that I've found helpful in the past: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Security-HOWTO-5.html (it's part of a larger linux security HOWTO) As for your second question, yes. That's one of the side-effects of using a shared server. --kurt
