I don't know about listserv, but you could set up CRON to change permissions on these files once a day, week month or whatever. Log in or su to listserv and crontab -e Mark Kaprow [log in to unmask] ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Notebook file question Author: LISTSERV give-and-take forum <[log in to unmask]> at INTERNET Date: 03/06/96 12:31 PM We are running LISTSERV under UNIX. The notebook files are being written out in such a way that users can do an anonymous FTP to view the files (a much better way than receiving them via e-mail). The problem is these files are being written with the wrong access permissions. Is there some way I can tell LISTSERV to wrire these files so they are readable by all? ..Chris.. *====================================================================* Chris Hayes Novy - WA9V Internet: [log in to unmask] Southern Illinois Univ.
