Check the ownership/permissions on /var/rwho, which should be: drwxrwxr-x 2 bin daemon 512 Jan 10 02:45 rwho/ That should get you wroking and wrolling again. :-) > What ne secyrity? feature has been added ? I believe this is a case where rwhod did not need root privileges, and was therefore modified to change uid to a non-root user after binding its port. Permissions on the directory used to store its data therefore need to be modified so that it is group writable by group 'daemon'.
