i was root,i'm the only one administrator in the house here (and the only one who know something about computer),the permission was good before,in just that i needed to run the chown program to change the owner (i was root when i changed the home partition),live by learning,i propose that this thread be closed as the problem was mostly a lack of concentration of my part. thanks for all who responded and i'm very sorry that my message has caused a bandwith hog for a stupid user error.
