steve@wattres.UUCP writes: Had it occurred to you to make the each directory in the entire hierarchy read-only? I agree that it takes an immature .* (fill in your own regexp) for this kind of behavior, but leaving write-access available to anonymous FTP directories seems hazardous. You miss the point. People _do_ leave legitimate, valuable, useful things in my FTP areas from time to time. Then they usually have the common decency to tell me so that I can do appropriate things with them, e.g., move things to another part of the archive, update GNU.how-to-get, create symlinks into osu-cis!~/, etc ad nauseum. I want it writable; but I don't want the privilege abused. --karl
