You said you'd logged in as SU, so this would be the user provided the user SU had been added. SU as a user, will be an unpriviledged user, hence the no permissions errors for a lot of stuff. What the advice really meant I'd wager, is to log in as yourself, and when you need to do roots work, do an su -, answer the password request properly, and if successfull you will then have root permissions you don't have now. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
