Yeah, this is a known problem : - mldonkey start as root - mldonkey daemonize - mldonkey changes to user mldonkey:mldonkey - here comes the problem : mldonkey cannot use all the group of mldonkey user, only the primary one ( ie mldonkey in standrad install ) The problem comes from ocaml. There is not binding for the function setgroups. So i cannot set all the group of a user. The solution : set the primary group of mldonkey to "disk". This should help you to circumvent the problem. Let me know if it works. Regard Sylvain Le Gall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
