Heya, I regularly run top from my non-root account. That account is in its own group, and the wheel group. However, yesterday for unknown reasons top suddenly stopped working, giving this error: kvm_open: /dev/mem: Permission denied It still works for root however. The permissions for /dev/mem are crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Jan 24 08:27 /dev/mem and the swap space is brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 2 Jan 24 08:27 /dev/wd0c The permissions for top are -rwxr-sr-x 1 root kmem 36864 Jan 24 21:13 top I had to add my non-root account to the kmem group first, which made top work, except the swap info was wrong, then I had to add it to the operator group (now everything works). However, it was working before without being in either group, and I'd prefer to go back to that way. The only siginificant thing done that I can think of is a quotacheck (with no errors reported). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. --- Sin <sin@cowz.lumiere-cc.com> Cowz: http://cowz.lumiere-cc.com/
