HI...
In NW6, I have a folder which has full rights RWECMF given to a group. Some "rename the folder" games are going on with a subfolder in that area. How do I adjust the groups' rights on the subfolder so that the group can no longer toggle the"rename inhibit" property on the folder and change the name of the folder?
TIA
David

If you use flag /? DO it will give you the full list of directory commands available. Otherwise C in group properties is for change, remove the ability to change eliminates their ability to rename directories. E allows them to erase, M is modify.Are you trying to stop gaming on the network? If so company policy should already be there for misuse of company property. Find names and prosecute by using ndir to show who is cerating and using the files there. If it is acceptable to game on company time or lunch/after hours then where's the issue? Or did I missread this whole thing? It's just the directory name which keeps getting changed. OK, the problem with netware is your rights carry through to subdirectories and they are treated the same as files so if you give them the rights to modify then they have the rights to rename inhibit.
Good luck!

Remoke the Modify ('M') right for that group. IIRC, Modify is for changing attributes only, and shouldn't affect anything else. RWCE cover changing file contents.

Utilizing the IRFs (Inherited Rights Filter) in Novell will block rights from being inherited from the parent folder. Just look up IRF in Novell help in NWADMIN for instructions on applying IRFs. You can use the IRF to take their rights away from being able to rename the folder and then grant rights back to the files in it.

Actually, IRFs aren't for the File system (BrainFart). But, there is Inheritance Filter on Trustees of this Directory Tab on the folder in NWAdmin. Works the same way. Sorry, for the confusion.
