Hi, I recently moved /var to the partition windoze used to occupy.
To do this (after reformatting the partition): # mkdir /vartemp # mount /dev/hda1 -t ext2 /vartemp # cp -R /var/* /vartemp I then set up /etc/fstab to mount /dev/hda1 at /var and later wiped the original /var. It has been a little while so I'm not 100% on exactly what I did. The problem is that only root can write to /var or any subdirectories. So users cannot use `man` and there are other miscellaneous errors. I thought this should work: drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 1024 May 10 16:21 var But it doesn't: $ man test Reformatting test(1), please wait... man: can't create /var/catman/cat1/4071: Permission denied TIA, Jon
