I haven't a definite answer, but you should try su - instead of su. I know su - emulates a login and su doesn't. For example when I do a su LOGNAME is still my user name, with su - it is root. Maybe something like that is creating trouble. Pat _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
