> But node7 does not update a /var/rwho/whod.node7 file. Obviously I can't be sure, but my guess is that your /var/rwhod directory is not writeable by 'daemon' (the user rwhod runs under) and thus it can't create the file. A one-time solution is to create the file manually... 'cd /var/rwhod; touch whod.node7; chown daemon whod.node7' Of course if you add/remove machines a lot, this is somewhat of a drag. You could also change the directory owner/group/perms in such a way as to allow 'daemon' write access. (if that's appropriate in your case) Personally, I changed group ownership of that dir to daemon and made it g+w and that seems to work for me. -=Jim=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
