-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2005-03-27, David Armour scribbled these curious markings: > <snippage> Ditto. > chmod: > #permissions: No such file or directory > > chmod: > are: No such file or directory > > chmod: > set: No such file or directory > > chmod: > properly: No such file or directory > > chmod: > at: No such file or directory > > chmod: > boot: No such file or directory Looks like you've got a runaway quote somewhere in your startup scripts. The #permissions part makes me think that you have a line that you thought would read something like this: chmod $filename #permissions are set properly at boot but, for whatever reason, the shell didn't see the # indicating the comment -- perhaps because it's inside a quote that isn't closed properly. I'm not familiar with your setup, but in either case I'd grep through /etc and /usr/local/etc (maybe even /usr/X11R6/etc) for that string, and see what I found.
