The settings like menu orders and such? That sounds like slimserver doesn't have permission to write to its own config file. It updates the config file every time you change it (or buffers such changes sometimes).
On a stock Debian install, the config file is in /etc/slimserver and is owned by the user 'slimserver'. Perhaps he set this to root to be more secure, but it isn't any more secure. (Well, I guess in some sense it is: since no one can change settings... but not exactly useful.) Assuming you have the same setup: chown -R slimserver /etc/slimserver Will change /etc/slimserver and anything below it to be owned by slimserver. If you don't have /etc/slimserver, try "locate slimserver.pref" and see where it is hiding. It may be in some weird place which would require a different solution. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33931 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
