Thanks, Mike. I took a look in /usr/sbin and found a few files which are set as owned by gsmh and as group 1000 - me in other words. I hadn't done the obvious and checked before because I assumed this couldn't happen. Somwhere along the line, and I suspect the Potato upgrade I did on Friday, the ownership of these files has changed. The list is as follows: checkrhosts icmpinfo in.rexecd in.rlogind in.rshd in.telnetd in.tftpd netdate rdate ripquery routed rpc.bootparamd rpc.userd rpc.rwalld rwhod traceroute wdsetup I changed ownership and group of traceroute to root and it works fine now. Incidently, the permission settings of most of the files in /usr/sbin is: -rwxr-xr-x Should I change all of the above to root.root? Thanks again. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
