Apparently you repopulated in a way that allowed the files to inherit the authorities of the parent directory. This works with FTP but as Simon points out, other file-creation methods don't necessarily abide by this protocol.

My thanks to all who responded. I tried the following and am puzzled by my success so far:
Gave READ and EXECUTE to shared directory to a userid
Userid not in AUTHL
Yesterday, with the above, user could SEE each of the files in the shared directory but could not look at the contents
Today, I ran my REXX EXEC that RMVLNK to get rid of all files in shared directory and repopulate with new files via FTP and MGET.
Today, user can SEE and READ all files in shared directory whereas yesterday they could not
I"m puzzled... the AUTHL doesn't seem to be needed
I got to read the IBM document again.
FWIW,
Dave
