The directory is writable by everyone: $ ls -al /dev/shm/ total 16 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 2007-07-18 08:33 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 14200 2007-07-18 08:22 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 iain users 1048576 2007-07-18 08:33 ATISHM00 just to make sure I deleted the file and remounted the directory, but I still get the errors... any more ideas? thanks, -- Iain Buchanan Brian Griffin: Seriously, who buys a novelty fire extinguisher?
