Thanks to all that replied to may previous posts. However is there no way 
of using the autogroup, and class facilities.

i.e 
In ftpaccess

# Define the classes for the autogroup, the address maybe a
# globbed domain name or numeric address

class	washer	anonymous	*.philips.com *.leeds.ac.uk
class	camera	anonymous	*.polaroid.com

# Autogroup defines classes i.e.carman, helios and setegid()
# to relevant group i.e philips, helios

autogroup	philips		washer
autogroup	polaroid	camera

and in /etc/groups I have:

ftp::60000:
philips::50001:
polaroid::50002:

I then create two dirs in /ftp/pub, one washer, one camera, owned by 
root, and member of philips nad polaroid groups respectively, with 
permissions set as 0750.

If I then log on as anonymous but may domain is *.philips.com then should 
i then become a member of philips, and hence be able to see the contents 
of washer directory, but not be able to see or access the camera directory

Is this correct, or am I being extremley stupid.

If this method is impossible I'll create entries as suggested previously.

Thanks in advance
