Make sure it's in the top level of your home folder (ie, not in any other folders).

Modes needed are: chmod 711 . (for the home directory) chmod 644 .plan (for the file itself) If you execute these two commands from UNIX, then your plan should show up whenever someone fingers your account. :::::::: ::::::::::: :::: :::: :::::::: :::: ::: ::: :+: :+: :+: :+:+: :+:+: :+: :+: :+:+: :+: :+: +:+ +:+ +:+ +:+:+ +:+ +:+ +:+ :+:+:+ +:+ +:+ +#++:++# +#+ +#+ +:+ +#+ +#+ +:+ +#+ +:+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+ +#+#+# +#+ #+# #+# #+# #+# #+# #+# #+# #+# #+#+# ######## ########### ### ### ######## ### #### ###

Here's what you do so that other people can see it: 1. Save your picture in a file called ".plan" Don't include the quotes. 2. Type "chmod 711 ." The dot is your root directory, and the 711 means that you can read, write and search your root directory, and other people (i.e. the "finger" program) can search it. Finger needs to be able to search your directory in order to find your .plan file. 3. Type "chmod 644 .plan" This lets you read and write your .plan file, and allows other people to read it. If you don't do this, they won't be able to see it when they finger you. Note: I _think_ that the above is correct; I'm by no means certain! :) -- (v) ran(dy+som) = ran...@scf.usc.edu

This command will accomplish that: chmod a+r .plan (the a stands for all, you could also use ugo+r for user, group, and other. the r stands for read permission.) -- Joe Rumsey <ogr...@netcom.com> ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ogre/home.html

Only really one extra thing: unix[1] cd unix[2] chmod a+r .plan unix[3] cd .. unix[4] chmod a+x <insert the name of your home directory here - manders?> That'll make sure that people with lower account priv.'s can get your plan too :) ///, //// \ /, / >.

you will have to chmod you root and you .plan file.
chmod 744 .
chmod 644 .plan
