I hesitate to put more use of it in init scripts but... Perhaps this would be of use instead of stat just to work around this problem? perl -e 'printf("%d\n",(stat($ARGV[0]))[4]);' /tmp # print uid in decimal 0 perl -e 'printf("%o\n",(stat($ARGV[0]))[2]);' /tmp # print mode in octal 41777 My only question now is where did that '4' come from in the mode? But the last four digits always seem to be correct. Bob
