    If you change the directories to rw only, then you cannot change to them. What you want for directories are rwx--7. Meanwhile, files can be rw--6.

    Code:
    chmod -R 755
    In the world of Linux, who needs Windows and Gates...

    Got most of my golden beans at an auction on eBay (with a couple of free drinks).

    Yes, after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that as root I could see everything and that, as you said, the directories were all changed. Whew - thanks for the reply.
