|folder -> directory 

Ok ok - my bad!  =) I understand, and a directory is a file too.  =) (Just
the second time I've been corrected on this post for that).

|A user can delete a directory only if they have write permissions to the

Great, this... 'will work' and I can make it happen, thanks!  I'm really
starting to realize just how limited a filesystems is without mandatory
and discretionary access control lists.  It's just an odd thing to keep in
mind (of several I've discovered) difference between Unix and Windows NTFS
file systems... where you can give a user "delete" permissions.

Next Q: Anyone know of any good alternative unix filesystems (non ext2/3)
that have more access control built in?

peace
