It is not a requirement for ssi to work. (except of course, dirs need exec) Presuming you actually need the exec bit set for some reason, you could do a few things, like run a script via cron over the web dir's and look for new files (just keep a temp file with the last run dir list & compare) then check ownership (for that user) and make changes as needed. Or, if the user is always at one IP, you could use TCPwrappers to execute a script when there is an ftp access from that IP address. hmm, could PAM help with this? -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
