Anyone can "cd" to GUEST, and play around, make mods etc., but GUEST CANNOT mess around with the files. But the REAL REASON is that it is just pure coincidence - like your VCR remote control having FORWARD and REVERSE. Both are "there" but you don't necessarily press them SIMULTANIOUSLY. Normally you give "yourself" either "7" or "6" access, and GROUP or OTHER "6", "4", or "0". Yeah, you can mix up the numbers - because you have the ability - but why would you? -- Tony J.
