Padmanabhan. Smith, William E. (Bill), Jr. wrote:=20 Padmanabhan, =20 Thank you for the response. To answer your questions, the message is not being displayed for either class of users. As for permissions, they are 644 with ownership being root:root. I tried setting them to 777 but that didn't make any difference either. =20 - Bill ________________________________ From: Padmanabhan Palanivelu [mailto:[email protected]]=20 Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 02:10 To: Smith, William E.

What is the permission bits on the message file ? =09 Padmanabhan =09 Smith, William E. (Bill), Jr. wrote:=20 I have the following two path filters configured with a text file containing text on what constitutes a valid file name should users attempt to upload a file with invalid characters. While the path filter itself appears to be working, the message is not being displayed to users. Instead, they receive an error indicating that permission was denied. (Filename (accept)) appears in part of the message but it's still not obvious to all as to what the problem is. I've looked up the path-filter statement in the man page and the format I have seems to be correct.
