Help: Directory Ownership "NOBODY"???

Help: Directory Ownership "NOBODY"???
When I created directories using Links it created them and everything worked, but now I can't delete them because when the script creates directories it sets its ownership to "nobody" and now I can't delete them.

What do I have to do with the script so it does not create them with ownership of "nobody"?

Please Help. Thanks in advance!

To delete them, see Mark's wipeout script above.

The reason they are owned by "nobody" is that the web server created them. If you want the scripts created under your own userid, you need to:

1. Run the nph-build.cgi from telnet.
2. Use a program like cgiwrap to run the build.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot...

I used the wipeout script and it fixed the problem.
