Never saw that one before. BUT, when something that works stops doing so, and I haven't intervened in any way, the first thing I blame is msec. Msec has changed permissions on me so many times that I automatically disable it for a test when stuff that "just works" quits working after an hour or so. Go to /usr/sbin and find "msec". Rename it to "OLDmsec" and save the file. If your problem goes away, you will know it was msec changing permissions. If it doesn't, go back and rename your msec (you need to do this in any case, if you want to use msec). Msec is your first bastion of security, and if you don't understand permissions you won't want to leave it disabled.
