sorry I am not quite sure i understand you, do you mean /usr/bin/wall is having its perms/ownership changed back to root.tty when change it to something else? if that is the case you probably have suidmanager installed, which is run by cron every day and will reset permissions on registered files to the saved values. to change suid programs to non-default permissions do the following: suidregister /usr/bin/wall root tty 0755 for example would change and enforce non-setgid permissions on /usr/bin/wall, this will also be preserved when the package is upgraded. > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
