What can I do? Thanks a lot. do you have all of the owners and permissions right? that counts :) Here's mine: hawkinsttyp0:hawk>ls -lsd /var/spool/* 1 drwxrwxr-x 2 uucp dialer 512 Mar 20 16:26 /var/spool/lock 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Mar 20 16:26 /var/spool/lpd 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jun 22 14:05 /var/spool/mqueue 1 drwxrwxr-x 2 news news 512 Jun 21 10:31 /var/spool/news 1 drwx------ 2 root daemon 512 Mar 20 16:26 /var/spool/opielocks 1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root daemon 512 Jun 21 18:33 /var/spool/output 1 drwxrwxr-x 7 uucp uucp 512 Jun 20 09:03 /var/spool/uucp 1 drwxrwxrwx 2 uucp uucp 512 Mar 20 16:26 /var/spool/uucppublic hmm, and now that I think about it, for some reason it's in my mind that on boot, those directories are created if they don't exist.
