that was mention on group earlier what is your system? cos quite lot of systems is changing rights owners for devices after restart what means u should stick it in place like /etc/devfs.conf on FreeBSD i dont think changing owner to bacula i a best way i will recommend to stick bacula in 'operator' group and then in /etc/devfs.conf add privileges for group to device -- bEsT rEgArDs | "Confidence is what you have before you tomasz dereszynski | understand the problem." -- Woody Allen TD840-RIPE | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
