It is attempting to create a file in /tmp which looks like... drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 512 May 23 06:05 tmp I as myself and root can both create files in /tmp, without issue. I killed off many daemons thinking that perhaps I had too many file descriptors open (I really don't know what I am talking about here), but nothing helped. I could not find any specific information relating to this in the archive, or even anything I could graft onto this problem. Has anybody had experience with this? | rich fox / F2 | rich@f2sys.net | www.f2sys.net | 5927 Ridge View Drive | Alexandria, VA 22310-2074 | t:703.528.9616 | f:703.528.0599 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
