Ok first things first...install xfstt here at work (I have an old version on this machine). Weird...I am having problems with this... ok now it is installing :) ok I was wrong (d'ho) it IS --daemon (and all theother optuions use -- too ) ok...are you running it as root? if it is run as a normal user it fails (I believe specifically it needs write acess to something but...I need to look ;)) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ "If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable" -- Louis D.
