Hi Julian.

I have done the RTFM now, but who shall own the /incoming directory ?.

In the examples in the FM there stands:
chown bin.bin sampsoft

This is as I understand it to use both chown and chgrp in one execution.
As far as I understand it the above example gives the owner and group to
bin.

Tell me plase if I'm wrong, and if you would write me the syntax in my
case ?.

Sorry for writing trivial :-(
