Maybe I wasn't clear enough - this was my "old FC4 box" "put through a couple of experiments" etc... It is definitely not a production machine Thanks for the rest of your comments - very helpful - from what you said, it would appear that I may have problems, since I don't have the gid uid info from the old /etc. since that went away when I installed a couple of distros over the old FC4 / partition, formatting first. Since this is purely an experimental box now, I guess I'll be doing some further experimenting... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
