Robert,

Thanks for the great tip. I hadn't made it executable...., and also didn't know that I had to do this.
I chmodded it w/ 755, is this correct?

Anyways, one thing is strange: As admin, I can't upload to or delete files in those system critical directories (such as
/etc/cron.daily), BUT I can change their chmod state without being root (ie with an FTP client).......

Thanks for your help,
Fathi
