Your post doesn't show the permissions or ownership of .dmrc I believe it is those permissions that are the problem. For some reason ?dm does not like them to be anything other than 600, neither tighter nor looser. Check them. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
