Hi Greg,
I assumed that you were running something post-login and was referring to
chown the file itself.

Nope, there's nothing that runs post login. It's just mgetty starting up /bin/login.

Hey Everyone, I was struggling with wordview which has a bunch of
powerful options like making a word file into an html file, but Bill Acker
told me about catdoc. Now this is the lazy man's heaven. All I did was
install the rpm and use the command line argument catdoc file.doc>file.txt
and press enter. Now I have the original doc file and a text (.txt) file
with the name I gave it. Can life get any better? With catdoc and
pdftotext I have solved two big problems that get in the way of someone
trying to use a great text interface in a Windows world.
10 points for Linux and heh heh for the other guys.
-- Charlie.

I've got antiword already, but catdoc might take a worl on my box.
