no, but they have to be writable. i don't have a 232/usb device to check, but i think the permissions should be 666 (rw-rw-rw-). But then again, that setuid xastir executable should take care of that. my /var/lock looks like yours, so i think that's OK: $ ls -lad /var/lock drwxrwxr-x 2 root uucp 68 Mar 30 10:49 /var/lock i thought I had done the setuid thing on /var/lock as well, but ls says otherwise, and my xastir works just fine. the xastir isn't suid root, either, so at a glance mine shouldn't work, but does. in case you haven't hit this, on the mac you'll probably want to "sudo cmd" for each of the commands Curt mentioned, instead of doing an su first. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
