Thanks for the reply, I have actuall tried the following also: 1.) changing my default umask to 022 in my .bash_profile directory of root's home. This should take care of it as far as I can tell from bash's documentation. 2.) adding "*default umask=022" to my sup-file. I seriously can't come up with a solution to this. I did update my /src also before. I rebuilt the kernel fine and thought that I had followed the directions, but....if something in this process could've messed it up...???? Hmm..........I have no idea, as I said before, I am at a loss for words at this point. Any other ideas???? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
