At a terminal, type:



# which system-config-services



And give us the output.









At the console the following text appears:



userhelper must be setuid root

Then the GUI insufficient privileges message box pops up.





I have a feeling you didn't type "which" in there.






Sorry! My eyes move faster than my brain takes in...


/usr/bin/system-config-services



Ok, this is good. And I assume that ls -l /usr/bin/system-config-services
is a link to consolehelper?


Yes, it is a link to consolehelper.

Also, your output above:



userhelper must be setuid root



Might also give a clue. Try verifying the usermode RPMs.

rpm -V usermode
rpm -V usermode-gtk



What am I looking for here? Both are installed; I'll have to do a man to find out what the .M....G. means before the listing.
I haven't had a chance to go through it yet but I do think that consolehelper is the direction I need to go.
Thanks again.
Randy
