I haven't looked up documentation for the default/mandatory ACD that MPE creates for a file copied to an HFS directory, but maybe it uses a very strict one that has to be "relaxed" by your chmod later? >So what I am trying to do is copy the file with the correct security >access (read only) on the file. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Might something similar to the following do the trick? :build example ;rec=,,b :# using build to represent your file creation :altsec example ;newacd=(r:www.apache) :copy example, /APACHE/PUB/htdocs/example.html :# use listfile ,acd to verify the ACD settings :purge example Assuming that the user doing this can copy to the target directory ;-) Lars. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
