from accessing my wvdial.conf file.
chmod 000 wvdial.conf
Wo - Why keep the file then?? :) I believe this wud allow the file to become as good as deleted... Except of course that u can change permissions later,when u (obviously) cant do chmod with a deleted file... Bye, Surya __ __ |__ |__| |/ __|urya |rakash |\ompalli
