ok, i think is see whats going on.. I finally got it to work.. by using what he suggested... having /pub/arb/leech and when I applied the same thing to /pub/leech I ended up not being able to see what was in pub.. so I guess its an all or nothing.. either see all directories and files in a given directory or see no files and directories in a given directory.. you cant mix and match hidden files and directories in a given directory... if that makes any sense? ;) -- ======================================================================= | Jason Welsh jason@welsh.dynip.com | If you think there's | | | good in everybody, you | | http://welsh.dynip.com/ | haven't met everybody. | ======================================================================= On Sun, 10 Oct 1999, Crist J.
