More to the > point, can someone tell me how to fix this please? Look at the perms on /bin/su. Looks like you're missing some execute bits. It should be 4755, -rwsr-xr-x, with both owner and group being root. Gentoo might've reduced the perms for security reasons. Maybe they're tryin= g to push using sudo. ciao, der.hans --=20 # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.TOLISGroup.com/ # To us former windows users, linux IS an easter egg :) I cant remember # how many times i said to myself "i can do that?" -- BoBB
