Answering my own e-mail here, I ran this by a buddy, and he scratched his head, said dunno, and that it still sounded like a permissions problem. Grasping at straws, I decided what the heck, just chmod 666 all the sound stuff in /dev. Wouldn't you know, it worked. Don't know why, and having 666 permissions on anything bugs me, but the box is behind a firewall, and we're only talking soundcards here... Anyway, would anyone out there have any idea why a server loaded up from /etc/rc3.d/ would not run as root, if it's not specifically running as another user? I'm just curious at this point... _______________________________________________ HARDY POTTINGER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . I-Net Administrator, UM LSO/MCO .
