<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>Hi all,</FONT></SPAN></P>

quick</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT
face=Calibri>questio</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>n.
One of my programmers is trying to get his program working by chmod
777</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> directories. On my
RHEL 4 server the program is working but on the RHEL 5 server when I do a ls
-alh of the directory, it is highlighted and the permissions are
777.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>Does anyone know what the
highlighting means?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>P.S. I know about the security
risk of chmod 777. Does anyone know of a way to allow a group of
users</FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us> <FONT face=Calibri>and</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> apache to write to a directory and all
directories underneath it.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>I have umask of 002 permission
