Is it possible to define file rights, such that - The file is owned by root, with full privleges on the Linux server. The file is shared by a group "users". The shared file should be available for read and write access. That part's easy - but now.... Deny delete, overwrite, or rename access to this file. Is this possible? -- Daniel

The ability to write implies the ability to change the name as well as the contents of a file. Can you provide a clear description of what you really wish to achieve? - John T. -- John H Terpstra "Don't do as I do; Show me better!" "If at first you don't succeed, don't go sky-diving!"
