I will have a look around. But either way, how is it getting root privileges? Kind Regards, Matthew AND: Hmmm - this is strange.

Apart from the standard channels (ubuntu repositories), I have only installed: - VirtualBox 1.3.8 (official deb from website) - monotone 0.34 (also from official website) I have also manually compiled: - Pidgin - Avant Window Navigator - Affinity These three I have sent explicitly to /usr/local . Insofar as I can see, none of these packages are responsible.
