Any ideas? Familiarize yourself with the permissions system. You probably untarred it as root and ran configure and make as root, thus all files in the Circle directory are owned by root and cannot be played with by lesser users. The option: either have user 123 untar, run configure, and make or change the owner (chown) and any other neccessary permissions to fit user 123. <*=-+Daniel+-=*> "Forgive me father, for I am sin." +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
