I have a group that has rights to a folder called gl4. They have all rights except supervisor and access. In the gl4 folder there is a sub directory called blank that contains a signature file. Only certain persons in the group should have accessto this signature file. What I had done was make a trustee assignment at the blank directory. Then for some reason out of the blue everyone can see this folder now. I removed the trustee assignments and put just me as a trustee of the blank directory and even at the file level but everyone can still see the folder. Any ideas?

If they have rights in the parent directory, they can see everything in the parent, including the "blank" folder.

If you have removed the group from the rights list inside the "blank" folder, the group still inherits rights from the parent directory. Put the group into the rights list of the "blank" folder, and remove all of the rights from that group in that folder. The explicit entry will override the inheritance.

Good luck.
