Can groups be set Make sure directories are xrwr-x--x (751) and group is backup. Now inside=20 this directory they can read anything but can't write/delete files. Make sure you have the root directory (which they can access) also set to=20 these permissions, default is 755, so independent of the group everybody=20 can read almost all. Of yourse user mustn't be the one which is in group=20 backup! =2DHarry > to certain rights so any user added to that group will only get those > rights.
