I have been trying to find a class that can take in a file path and another argument like group id or read write permissions for different people like root, group and other. The only class i can find that does anything near that is the file or fileutils class but they can just set groupids etc or check to see if the person running the process has read or write privileges to the file in question. Im just wondering then is there anyother classes that can help me out with my checks? thanks in advance Loftz -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
