Find comes to the rescue: 12087 0 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Jan 10 22:40 /dev/shm 252744 0 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 72 Apr 20 2005 /var/spool/samba Yes, I CAN make files there, as a regular user. >>if he has enough rights, that you have to worry about rw /usr, he has enough >>rights, to circumvent ro mounting by remounting.

Just to satisfy everyone's curiosity, look at what find comes up with: 1210021 0 drwxrwxr-x 2 lp lp 416 Aug 26 16:44 /usr/share/foo2zjs/crd 128775 21 drwxrwsr-x 4 root portage 21968 Feb 8 10:58 /usr/portage/distfiles And I'm _only_ looking at directories now, not even files... >>yes really, you have to remount /usr everytime you update something. > > Jaja.
