No, that's how it should be - you don't want just anyone to be able to poke around in there, do you? :-) The $64 question is, what are the permissions on top? They should be -rwxr-sr-x 1 root kmem 36864 Jun 23 21:08 /usr/local/bin/top If not, use chmod and/or chown as appropriate. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
