I'm wondering if your problem couldn't be solved administratively. Right now, I assume you have a world writable dir like "upload" and the script kiddies are putting warez in there. The way I've seen this problem solved most often is you set the perms on upload to "0111", and then create writable subdirectories in upload as required. For example, when customer foo needs to upload, create a dir "upload/foo-02052002" and tell them to cd there before doing the upload. If this doesn't fit into the way your server works, sorry for wasting your time :) -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
