Re: permission problems..

It changes permissions which seems to be at random.  It doesnt just change
a single file but will change permissions in the whole directory.  So it
doesnt change random files just random directories and inside those random
directories.  All I can say is that my users randomly see permissions
change and sometimes several times a day.
