The situation is this: I have a new hard drive that was previously used for user files. It has filled up. I purchased a new drive that is much larger, and want to now use this as my user file space. The system will not let me move or copy files unless I am owner and have explicit read/write access. This is just general system administration duties, not spying. > Have you tried giving yourself backup operator priviledges. You can > manage the files but not look at them. Does not work. I bascially know how to acheive my goals, the reason for this post was to express my frustration when it comes to getting complex tasks done with a GUI, and very limited command line tools. It is just my way of showing a growing appreciation for my FreeBSD endeavours. I appreciate your input none the less. Damien Tougas.
