This was my test directory. Here is my output during the initial stage, just after copying has begun: drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Oct 29 22:56 Mixdown Project And when the copy was complete: drwxrwxrwx 8 jeffrey jeffrey 272 May 6 2005 Mixdown Project I was sudo'd to do the cp. Can someone tell me why cp is doing this? Thanks :) All My Best, Jeffrey _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
