Usually this is because you . try it and fail with permission denied . login as root and add yourself to the group . try it again (perhaps even recalling the old command) and fail with permission denied . logout or reboot . try it and it works You have to login *after* adding yourself to the group. [I did notice that you posted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ groups sdelorme adm disk dialout cdrom floppy audio dip but I don't know whether you pasted that from a different session/xterm/whatever.] Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
