OOOOooooooooppppppppsssssss!!!!!!!! I screwed up here's what happens Feb 5 10:42:53 mnemo ls: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied Feb 5 10:49:13 mnemo login: login_getclass: retrieving class information: Permi ssion denied Feb 5 10:49:16 mnemo login: login_getclass: retrieving class information: Permi ssion denied Feb 5 10:49:20 mnemo pine: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied Feb 5 10:49:57 mnemo pine: /etc/pwd.db: Permission denied what I did was change the permissions on pwd.db to chmod 600 so that only the root could view the file since then I changed it to 640 I still get the same message. ??? what's with login_getclass?? I don't see that file in /etc/ at all and those are the only files I touched. I mean I went through everything in /etc/ to minimize access and increase security for those files. I just did another login test and see how the login_getclass is related to logging in, but not where the file being access is located or what it is called anyhow I must have been too restrictive on some of those files in /etc/ I don't have a reference on this though. Perhaps someone can post a list of suitable permissions for files in the /etc/ directory? Or if you know of why this is happening please tel me.
