Hi All,

I am a system administrator.  I frequency have to use
the "chmod" command.  It is really annoying that I
have to drop to a command line from Thunar to do a
simple "chmod 766".

Is there any sign of Thunar finally supporting the
full range of chmod functions?

I want to be able to access the following binary bits: 111 111 111 111
(7777 octal)

Many thanks,
-T

p.s.

When administering a samba server, if you have

    map archive = yes
    map system = yes
    map hidden = yes

set in your smb.conf, you map the Windows attributes
to following chmod octets:

     archive 0100
     system  0010
     hidden  0001

"chmod 766" tells windows the file is "archive",
"not system" and "not hidden".  It also allows
you to use the files in Linux, depending on what you
set smb.conf's "force user" and "force group" to.
