An unusual one here... I've got a share on my network for the company intranet. We run nightly backups that access the shares on that machine and every night it changes the permissions on a CGI script from 755 to 655, which ends up breaking the script. For now I am just running a nightly tar file creation via cron to back up the intranet to a different share, bt I am curious as to why this is happening. Any ideas?
