Hi Hans, >>check whether the user and the group exists and try "chown -R jkr:jkr *" > Shouldn't it be "chown -R jkr:jkr /" ? this will chown the whole system... > I think, there must be a trailing slash, > just like "chown -R jkr:jkr /home/jkr/" ... for my experiences a chown without a trailing slash changes the permissions in the working directory (if -R is specified, the subdirectories too). Greetings, Tobias
