It is a directory: drwxrwxr-x 4 root cvsup 512 Nov 18 19:16 sup.client # chown cvsup sup.client # su -m cvsup -c "/usr/local/sbin/cvsupd -e -C 8 -l daemon -s /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup.client" [root@fred:/usr/local/etc/cvsup] # Cannot become a daemon: Permission denied Hmmm, thats not it. It's not something to do with the cvsup user is it? cvsup:*:1001:1001::0:0:CVSup Daemon:/nonexistent:/nonexistent Nope, the user is there.
