[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1497072, member: 38864"] You did it wrong. Below is a screen cap of typical settings. The Owner should be you, with RW; Group is staff with R; Everyone set to R. You can't select "both" users. Only one or the other can be the owner. If you applied the settings first to one user, then changed the Owner to the other user and re-applied the changes, then all you did was change owners and locked out the first user beyond what basic rights that user account may have if it is a member of "staff", or otherwise has for "everyone". So... re-run BatCHmod and make sure the settings match what's in the screen cap (with the "Owner" being your own admin user account). Also check the option to [I]Clear ACLs[/I] so any underlying "bugginess" in the permissions get swept away. [ATTACH=FULL]18744[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
