You need to do this to your /tmp... chmod 777 /tmp chmod +t /tmp This sets the proper settings for a /tmp... so only a user can delete their own files, and so on. I'm pretty sure thats the correct setting. > 2.) GNOME-terminal has a colored scheme by default (blue for directories, > green for executables, sky blue for symlinks, etc...).
