Same here, which is what led me to post originally. datacube:~# ls -ld /etc/slimserver/ drwxr-xr-x 2 slimserver root 4096 Oct 6 18:51 /etc/slimserver/ I am also running with --prefsfile /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref, verified by 'ps'. The slimserver user can definitely write to /etc/slimserver: datacube:~# su slimserver -s /bin/bash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ cat > /etc/slimserver/blah whee. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ ls -l /etc/slimserver/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 slimserver nogroup 6 Oct 10 21:43 blah [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ -- neurophyre _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
