Now, it is modifiable. You mean all except the mud user? Make sure your umask is 027 or 077 you can make a file writable only by the owner with: chmod o-w filename chmod g-w filename You can't make a file read-only to the owner and still use it for logging purposes. If you're trying to prevent someone you've given access to your mud account from tampering with logs, forget it, it won't work (there are a bazillion nasty things they can do without incurring logs -- the owner of the file is privileged and there are numerous ways file owner can go about anything) There's no way to deny the user running the mud the privilege to do anything and everything the mud server is able to do. -Mysid ---end quoted text--- -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
