Thanks for the pointer, the dev was indeed root.root and I run as bacula.tape - doh ! The other problem I found was after I had done a make install (to install 2.2.8) the perms on the /etc/bacula dir had also been reset to root.root ... silly mistake. Thanks to you and John for all your help - John thanks for the info on the udev stuff very helpful. (I do feel rather silly) *blush* Regards Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
