Good idea.   I remember I gave R F to everyone on our lan for my home 
directory .......  After they did what they had to do (I gave it to everyone 
because it was easier then typing out 40 out of 900 User names!)...  When I 
trided to remove the rights , I didn't even think that by removing ALL rights 
to my directory from the group EVERYONE, I AM IN THAT GROUP!!.. so I lost all 
rights to my own DIRECTORY!!!.....   thank god it was a Friday, Gave me till 
monday to think of how to kissup to the admin and break it to him that i lost 
all rights to my Directory!.... ARG!.....   Speaking of this, I feel kinda 
stupid asking this but, I am in the same situation.... Everyone has R F to a 
sub directory in my Home directory, i want to remove all rights from everyone 
else BUT ME!!!!!!!....(and admin, sysop etc)...  Can I put somthing like 
revoke R F for  from everyone BUT   ....
or somthing like...
:start
initialize {line} varible to 1
read in {line} from userlist text file
revoke r f for  from {user}
incriment {line+1}
reread {line} from userlist textfile
revoke command again
etc. etc.   
or....  remove myself from the group everyone, revoke the rights, addmyself 
to everyone again.
I am sure there is an easier way..... but like I said i already feel stupid 
for asking so PLEASE>>>>,,, .. be gental .. :)
