If you're running a linux box as root and you execute a root only executable and it 
comes back with...

error: this must be run in root mode...

What do you do then? This, I believe, is the root of all my cups, LPRng and turboprint 
problems... This particular box was used as a test machine for ext3 and had 
experienced a couple of "crash tests", etc...

Could a box be corrupted where it works perfectly, but it just doesn't let root be 
root? If so, that would explain why Cups died a miserable death and LPRng and 
turboprint can't or won't access root own files, even while logged in as root...

Now... how do you go about fixing root? :')

Cheers all... I'm off to my vax-d session...
