That's okay. he can "!sh" out to a shell and chown and chgrp them back to the appropriate user and group. ;^) Seriously though, why don't they create an ftp group, then chgrp ftp ftp chmod 550 ftp That way anybody who wants to ftp has to be in the ftp group. If on older BSD system, one more step to set group first, but better than SUID script. I guess what I am saying is that there are always alternatives. This is just one of them, and I am NOT saying it is the BEST one. I am sure others can think of other alternatives here. HHH
