[Wayne Ward]

Yes webmin will let you do what you want and it wont let others have shell
access to the workstation at all - im just trying to save you time and
stress  Bye!

Hi Wayne...
Thanks for your advice.
I will certainly get webmin at some stage.
However, I need to chmod with ftp for others to use. I don't want other
people to have shell access to the server. It leads to trouble.

Cheers,

John C
