(Type ``id alissa'' to find out, or just ``id'' if you've logged in as alissa.) $ ls -l /home/alissa/.login_conf will show who it is owned by. It looks like you've changed your own uid or something like that, or maybe that file has been created owned by root, for some reason. What are other files in your home directory owned by? It might be best to just change your id number back to whatever it was before, if indeed it has changed for some reason. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
