hostowner, after /dev/hostowner, and eve, after the kernel variable name, refer to the same thing. eve is "" until set by factotum -S (cpuserver) or factotum -u (terminal). factotum writes the hostowner to /dev/hostower and as a special case the setting process' owner is reset as well. with the default install, a cpu server's hostowner is bootes. > any debugging I ought to try? auth/debug is always a good start. no arguments, no man page. just run it. once that fails, i'd use acid(1) truss to pinpoint the system call that results in permission denied. if it is /dev/usb*, i would use scuzz(8) to double-check that it isn't a bug or misleading message in devusb. giving scuzz the "probe" command should list all the available sd devices. if it does not, then it's likely a real permissions problem. it's pretty likely that i haven't foreseen what's really going wrong on your system. so you're probablly going to need to do a bit of experimentation. good luck. - erik
