I just repartitioned one of my drives to give Linux more space and Winbloze less. Now I have four partitions: swap, /, /usr, and /usr/local instead of three (/, /usr, swap) The system appeared to work OK when I tested it, but (conveniantly :-) after I turned the usr partition into the usr/local partition I started getting wacky errors, and xdm wouldn't let me log in as a regular user. I found that all of the files in my home directory were owned by root! A find -group root | xargs chown stephen.stephen ficed most of the problems, but man still says "Can't set effective uid: Operation not permitted", and my MUA (mutt, an elm clone) can't read from the spool even though it is owned by stephen. Can anyone offer any suggestions? -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Proudly running Debian GNU/Linux 1.1 on an Intel Pentium 150 Send a message with "Send PGP Key" in the subject to get my PGP key.
