I don't get this when running as su. I also get a permission denied for a /tmp directory. I have set both /var/tmp and /tmp chmod +t to add the sticky bit. Still no luck though. Am I missing something obvious? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
