While inside /tmp, I untarred netscape. could this have done? /tmp had permissions of 751, which i've changed to 1777 which seems to help. hmm, and theowners and group were 888 and 999, which i've changed back to root. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
