As your own user, run the command `groups` to verify that your addition to the wheel group took effect. It might be that you haven't logged back in (all the back way from the tty) since the change was made. A user's groups are determined when they originally log in. hth danb -- Daniel Brown www.utacm.org www.cs.utexas.edu _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [email protected] http://www.utacm.org:81/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
