That's why it is called a `pubdir' -- everybody can upload there. No, even `t' bits won't do any good, since the user who's received a file from remote should be able to delete the file there, but the way it arrived from outside, it's owned by `uucp'. Of course, if you don't need that service at all, or ar going to organize this in a different way (e.g. by arranging for a UUCP directory in the people's homedir), you can safely remove it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
