I've asked this on the amamnda group/list as well, but thought I;'d post here in case anybody has any brainwaces... so... why should restore -i restore directories with the incorrect ownerships and permissions? -- Didds To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
