I noticed that /CentOS/5/os was giving me a 403 forbidden error, but /CentOS/5.0/os/ wasn't. I tracked the problem; the files in /5/ are symlinks to the files in /5.0/, but they were owned by uid 503 and the targets in /5.0/ were owned by uid 500. My server is set SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, and if possible, I'd like to keep it that way. Will I introduce any problems for my consumers by changing all file ownership to 500? -- William Dunn Unix / Linux Administrator Virginia Tech Computer Science Department wdunn at cs.vt.edu / 540-231-3167
