hi.

i have an external firewire drive. i would log in as "admin" and set the permission that i = admin is the owner with read and write rights, group has only read rights and others has only read rights (or no access).

once i log in as a different user, the owner suddenly becomes this! user (and not as admin as previously configured).

any good unix experts here?
