Jason Middleton" To: Subject: permission denied Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG well looks like i changed the permissions for root some how...while trying to ping any IP i get a sendto permission denied error. SO i left that problem alone for a bit then try to compile my kernel. So in the process i was doing a "/usr/sbin/config kernelname and got permission denied as well....i am logged in as root...so this is what mad me think i have f-ed up the permissions some how. Anybody got any suggestions? Coming from an NT environment you guys don't know how bad this makes me want to reinstall the whole darn operating system. But i read somewhere thatwhen you are having a prob with unix that you will never have to reinstall, you just need to know which file to edit! I love this stuff and i have only ben using it for 4 weeks! Regards, G.
