I think the point is that it would be nice to have /dir -access=clients,rw=friends,ro=foes where clients is a net group of all clients that you want to have access, friends is who you want to have (rw) access and foes are (ro) access. Of course this would probably be redundant because by giving access to clients they *could* assume the default unless they were also in the (rw) option. Has anyone tried this: /dir -access=foes:friends,rw=friends with the same definitions as above? Just wondering. I don't have the need for this *feature* yet :-) and lack the time to try. -=>gretzky<=- ..mitch
