I wonder if you would've given the same response 40 years ago when someone invented "chmod <perms> *" "If you don't know what files and other objects need to be secured, how can you have any idea that you're handling the securing of your file system properly???" What if I DO know what tables I have, and I DO want them to all have the same perms? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
