I think that can be reduced to: It isn't possible to create a directory that is not writeable by root. The whole point of root is that as the super-user it can do anything! > Im not really sure how to tackle this better than simply skipping the > tests as root which is what the most recent release does. That's plausible. It could also temporarily drop privileges to be some other user for running that test, but I don't know how you'd work out which user to do it as. Smylers
