That or perhaps PAM problems?
I wonder if any files/directories anywhere can be changed (say in /tmp for example).

Yup, it seems very odd to me and I've found no way around it, but when I try to use *any* means of changing the permissions on certain things, root is denied the ability to do so. I want to make a slave drive, that I've properly mounted, open for writing to it under my regular username instead of having to log out completely and log back in as root. So far I cannot find a way for root to be able to change this.
Any idea why this is and what I can do about it? If more info is needed, please be simple and clear about exactly what you want me to get from where and I will gladly supply it.
sincere thanks for all the help I've gotten in here already! -- Dennis C.
I bet the drive/partition you are speaking about has a fat32/ntfs filesystem on it. On such systems you can't chmod/chown.
