Hi, You can do it with groups, I think. Create a group called "vi" for example and add all the users you want to allow access to vi to this group. Remember to add any system users that might use it to this group like "root" and "daenmon" etc. man 5 group Example. vi:*:1002:willem,root,daemon Just change the group id to be an appropriate value for you system, see the man page. Then change the group permissions for /usr/bin/vi to the group called vi and remove the other permissions from /usr/bin/vi man 1 chmod man 1 chgrp denary# ls -al /usr/bin/vi -r-xr-xr-x 6 root wheel 278168 Mar 20 23:31 /usr/bin/vi denary# denary# chgrp vi /usr/bin/vi denary# chmod o= /usr/bin/vi denary# ls -al /usr/bin/vi -r-xr-x--- 6 root vi 278168 Mar 20 23:31 /usr/bin/vi denary# Log out and back in and only the users that are part of the "vi" group should be able to execute it. I'm not to sure what this will break though.
