I think it must be readable by `daemon' (and i would even call this a security feature, as opposed to reading the file with root privileges). Of course, your directory doesn't need to be readable by `daemon', it's sufficient if it is _search_able by him (e.g.., drwxr-x--x). -- 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. ;-)
