They must be rw for the user using them which means chmod 6xx, the group being entirely irrelevant as it will never be referenced. If the new user is doing the copy then they will be owned by that new user anyway. "cp -a" will just always do the right thing in this case :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
