I've seen similar permissions problems with sudo before, though not on my bo machine; basically, subprocesses of a given sudo command will sometimes be run not as root, but as me (plays havoc on 'sudo make') - my only suspicion is that perhaps the real user id isn't getting set. (I don't have access to a machine that sudo misbehaves on at the moment) Tell me, what do 'sudo id -u' and 'sudo id -ru' display? If one of these commands displays something other than '0', then you should file a bug against the hamm sudo. (On my bo machine, both commands report 0) If both these commands display 0, you might still want to file a bug against the hamm sudo anyway, though it won't be as descriptive. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
