So SELinux if I'm blaming you for no reason. Look in the logfiles to see if it's an SELInux issue (/var/log/messages if you're not running auditd, /var/log/audit/audit.log otherwise). I think most of the "Standard" initscripts use "runuser" rather than "su" for this purpose btw. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
