If so, simply editing "/etc/group" and adding your login to the "wheel" group won't work. Try logging in as "root" and running NetInfo. 1. Double click on "groups". 2. Double click on "wheel". 3. Click on "edit" in the NetInfo menu. 4. Click on "new" in the edit submenu. 5. Double click on the new entry that is created. (_edit_me_ I think) 6. Change that to match your login 7. Quit NetInfo. Hope this helps. -------- Chris Britton chris@dept.csci.unt.edu {attctc,iex,convex,utd,texsun}!ntvax!chris University of North Texas 817-565-2279
