You don't have to reboot after changing the group file - you do however have to logout/login, although I don't think that's the cause of your problem. What are the permissions on /tmp? Can you, as a normal user, create a file there? They should be 1777. Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
