I get a lot of hits if I Google "ICEauthority". I would: 1. Start a terminal. 2. Do a "cd /home/bonfirm" # Go to the home directory 3. Do a "ls -l -a # List all fines (even hidden (-a)) in long form. This shows ownership and permissions of all the files and direcories. You could do a "ls -l -a .ICEauthority" since that is the file you really want to check. 4. If the owner is not "bonfirm" then "su" # Obtain super user authority 5. Then "chown bonfirm:bonfirm .ICEauthority" # Change owner to Bonfirm. Note what the owner was before doing this - that may well tell you which progam is changing this file. Also, check the SELinux policies of the file. Good Hunting!
