  That was my thoughts exactly.
  However, last time I did that, FP would not enable
  Cobalt had to sort it out, seems all FP files
  were not deleted .. The write it down method works,
  If I can't change it users can't change it either ..

  It doesn't wipe out the files, one for Bill :)
  But it does totally re arrange permissions on
  everything .. including all the complex cgi
  scripts running on a site ..

  A real good back up fixes that.
  Since FP enabling assigns everything "nobody"

  You have to delete all scripts,
  then FTP for uid "admin" or "siteN"
