Chmod -R 4755 will make all files/folders owned by owner, and chmod -R 2755 will give you all files owned by the group. HTH Regards, Marshall -----Original Message----- From: Reuben D.

I want the group permission to always be 'rw' so that even the user who created the file under that directory cannot change the group permission ) Thanks. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
