Reply-to: gerrit@familiehaase.de Message-ID: <3AF2FF0D.31016.1D93683@localhost> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12cDE) I never ever in life will understand this security concept... I renamed German Administrator in passwd to root and the group 'root' here is the default 'none(513)'. I turned explictily ntsec off and ntea off! So why is it not possible to overwrite a file? I log in as Administrator (whos name now is root), no security is turned on, but i am not able to write over a file that i'm owning... (Well in this case it was make which called install) I don't understand. cp ./config.example /etc/leafnode cp: cannot create regular file `/etc/leafnode/config.example': Permission denied make: *** [install] Error 1 root@ISMENE /src/leafnode-1.9.18 $ ls -l /etc/leafnode/config.example -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4471 May 4 13:54 /etc/leafnode/config.example gph -- Gerrit P.
