Let me guess, the permissions changed after a reboot. If that is the case look at the /etc/permissions.* files as that is where the permissions are set for many files.

Nope - that's not it, but your comment led me down a new path. Now that you mention it, it happens after the On-Line update when SuSEConfig runs. Guess what? I just had to change the setting of CHECK_PERMISSIONS in /etc/ sysconfig/security to "warn" rather than "set" and the problem is solved! Thanks for your help, Ken. -- --------------------------------------------------- Dave Grosvold dave@rcanyon.com ---------------------------------------------------
