Yes, java.io.FilePermission does not work, I looked at some javadocs, and
found that I can't use it to change the file permession.

Well.. I want to avoid Runtime.exec(), because I don't want to have any OS
dep. code in my app. I was thinking of using this if all fails.

What I did was to change the umask to 000 in the shell, that runse the VM.
This make the dir that my java code creates, 777.

Thanks for your help..

Regards
