Hi Luc and Anders, this was the problem, "sux" made it working. What a difference a simple x can make! Thanks, I even understand why it works now! Matt On Saturday, 29. December 2001 19:26, Anders Dahlqvist wrote:

Wild guess: You are logged in as a "normal" user open a term and made su -

and it does!
