Normally if you do 777 / then it is very hard to get back on keel. Such quick fixes are somewhat dangerous. For /tmp you should give chmod 1777 . For others particularly /home you should give user perms. For user foo, # chown -R foo /home/foo and so on. Best of luck. -Girish _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
