Ha, I know this, it happened to me once I messed with tmp, and its pretty simple: /tmp has the sticky bit "set". If you forget it, some programs fail mysteriously. So just do a chown -R root:wheel /tmp (just to be safe) and chmod -R 1777 /tmp and all will be fine _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
