This doesn't affect your main question, but you are using the wrong syntax for sudo. The -u option takes a username/uid argument. Your command is telling sudo to run bash as user man, who doesn't exist. sudo is normally run by a user (not root) who is listed in the file /etc/sudoers. Your sudo problems don't appear to be related to your suid problems. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D. Hilliard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |_) (_) |_) Palm City, FL USA PGP Key ID: A8E40EB9
