Dear Rob and Stephen: Rob is right. He's got it! I did not set the SUID during install. I didn't know what it was all about and the default was No. So I went with No. I just reconfigured it and chose yes, went back to K3b, set it to user in Kmenuedit and launched k3b. This time there is NO message. So, now I can use it as user. Thanks so much. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
