Fooey. Any helpful suggestions folks? 1) reboot If that doesn't work, 2) re-run custom. de-install. re-install. reboot. The reason this may be necessary is that the installation may not have worked (left the old dorked-with files there) when you installed. The reason it didn't complain was that since you re-installed by hand, the file /etc/perms/lp (or some similar beast) wasn't there, so it didn't complain. This is also the reason the de-install threw up in the first place. There is a permissions file which is also run (either an /etc/init* or /tmp/init*) to set the permissions correctly on everything, that probably wouldn't have run, doing it your way. Why are you picking on it anyway? (just curious). | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...{ decvax, ihnp4 } ...utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software OR: ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'Admit it!
