Kul, I think we're both saying the same thing.  I said to make .procmailrc
chmod 644 and you said -rw-r--r-- (which is 644).  Perhaps you thought I was
talking about chmod'ing the user's home directory?

How is this a bonus?  Are your user webs not visible by default?  Or is
there an alternative that breaks them by making them non world-readable?
I'm lost...been a long week and looking forward to the weekend.  <grin>
