Hi Marty,

Yes.
re:

No. The link will allow for pattern-action file FILE entries to specify
relative disk paths ('data/' instead of '/data/').
By the way, is the user 'ldm' allowed to write files/create directories
under /data on your machine? If not, you have found your problem.
Try the following:
<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
touch /data/xxx
Did this work? If not, the read/write/execute permissions on /data will
need to be changed.
Cheers,
Tom
