Hi Oz!
I get a lot of hits if I Google "ICEauthority".
I would:
1. Start a terminal.
2. Do a "cd /home/bonfirm" # Go to the home directory
3. Do a "ls -l -a # List all fines (even hidden
(-a)) in long form. This shows ownership and permissions of all the
files and direcories. You could do a "ls -l -a .ICEauthority" since
that is the file you really want to check.
4. If the owner is not "bonfirm" then "su" # Obtain super user authority
5. Then "chown bonfirm:bonfirm .ICEauthority" # Change owner to
Bonfirm. Note what the owner was before doing this - that may well
tell you which progam is changing this file. Also, check the SELinux
policies of the file.
Good Hunting!
Tod
