The ownership of my external HD and everything on it changes to whoever loged in last. It must not be happening every time, though, because I found out when I was told that I didn't have permission for a file on the external that I use often. I checked into it and found that everything was owned by one of the other users on my machine. It seems like it happens often, but not every time. I'm root here too, so the other usrs aren't doing it. Hummmm...... Brett Bullock brett@proimage.toledo.oh.us (NeXTmail) -- Brett Bullock brett@proimage.toledo.oh.us (NeXTmail) bbulloc@bgsu.edu
