Andy, You are, of course, right - much easier than messing around with LDAP groups & users. The only further complication for me is that my music files are down a few levels in /opt/ on which I have set the sticky bit for the group owner in order to force group membership for newly created files

What are the present permissions for the Music folder? -ls -l /opt/data/Storage- Easier way than adding squeezeboxserver to your group is to give universal access to the music folder. Either as root or sudo -chmod -R 755 /opt/data/Storage/Music- You should then be able to browse to that folder

Mnyb I think that you and Pfarrell are right and myself in the wrong. Almost immediately after posting a reply to your first comments, I had a flash thinking that somewhere in install process I had seen that squeezebox server had created a user for itself. So I went to my /etc/passwd file and s

Thanks for you input Mnyb. But no I don't think it is not a permissions issue. The Debian server was set up several years back and I have no problem accessing any and all files and folders in /opt when I log onto the server as myself (not root) directly sitting in front of it from a terminal or

But are not the problem really that the squeezeboxserver user does not have the rights to see those directories ? If you change the permission settings on /opt it should work . So it a linux feature sbs has no problem reading any dir if it got the rights to do so. -- Mnyb ---
