Have you tried running it as root?> If it works there, then change your permissions. You should see some more> "x's" there... ;-) NOOOOOO!!!!! Permissions are NOT RRRGGGWWW (Root,Group,World) Rather, they are OOOGGGWWW (Owner(aleksey),Group,World); also refered to as uuugggooo (User,Group,Other)... Hence, chmod [a|u|g|o]... see: man chmod, man chown before attributing -rwx------ to root unless the uid=root... HTH, Pierre
