Even if this isn't the cause, how do I go about fixing this? Dale :-) :-) The group shows instead of the GID, meaning the group is most definitely on your PC. You may want to check/change your primary group for dale. You can do this with: usermod -g users dale Then update the permissions on the files: chown -vR dale:users/home/dale/* You may want to backup your home directory first. I got it fixed and this helped a lot. I also took the backup advice to, just in case. ;-) Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] NEW idea: Kernel panics and more info
I think I typed in something wrong and sort of made a mess of it. I had to copy a backup file for group and passwd to get things working again. Here is what I have right now: root@fireball / # cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/bin/false lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/false sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/bin/false news:x:9:13:news:/usr/lib/news:/bin/false uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucppublic:/bin/false operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/bin/bash man:x:13:15:man:/usr/share/man:/bin/false postmaster:x:14:12:postmaster:/var/spool/mail:/bin/false portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/bin/false sshd:x:22:22:added by portage for openssh:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin messagebus:x:101:199:added by portage for dbus:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin avahi:x:102:197:added by portage for avahi:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin mysql:x:60:60:added by portage for mysql:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin ldap:x:439:439:added by portage for openldap:/usr/lib64/openldap:/sbin/nologin cron:x:16:16:added by portage for cronbase:/var/spool/cron:/sbin/nologin uptimed:x:103:102:added by portage for uptimed:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin ntp:x:123:123:added by portage for ntp:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin games:x:36:35:added by portage for gnugo:/usr/games:/bin/bash haldaemon:x:104:101:added by portage for hal:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin dale:x:1000:1000::/home/dale:/bin/bash gkrellmd:x:105:997:added by portage for gkrellm:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin hsqldb:x:106:996:added by portage for hsqldb:/dev/null:/bin/sh kdm:x:107:995:added by portage for kdm:/var/lib/kdm-4.5:/sbin/nologin nut:x:84:84:added by portage for nut:/var/lib/nut:/sbin/nologin polkituser:x:108:994:added by portage for polkit:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin dale2:x:1001:500::/home/dale2:/bin/bash root@fireball / # cat /etc/groupNEW INFO ALERT root::0:root bin::1:root,bin,daemon daemon::2:root,bin,daemon sys::3:root,bin,adm adm::4:root,adm,daemon tty::5:dale,dale2 disk::6:root,adm lp::7:lp,dale,dale2 mem::8: kmem::9: wheel::10:root,dale,dale2 floppy::11:root,dale mail::12:mail news::13:news uucp::14:uucp,nut,dale,dale2 man::15:man console::17: audio::18:dale,dale2 cdrom::19:dale,dale2 dialout::20:root,dale,dale2 tape::26:root video::27:root,dale,dale2 cdrw::80:dale,dale2 usb::85:dale,dale2 users::100:games,dale,dale2 nofiles:x:200: smmsp:x:209:smmsp portage::250:portage utmp:x:406:dale,dale2 nogroup::65533: nobody::65534: sshd:x:22: messagebus:x:199: netdev:x:198: avahi:x:197: lpadmin:x:106:dale mysql:x:60: ldap:x:439: cron:x:16: locate:x:105: ssmtp:x:104: crontab:x:103: uptimed:x:102: ntp:x:123: games:x:35:dale,dale2 plugdev:x:999:dale,dale2 scanner:x:998:dale2 dale:x:1100: gkrellmd:x:997: hsqldb:x:996: kdm:x:995:dale2 nut:x:84:nut,dale,uucp polkituser:x:994:dale,dale2 wireshark:x:993:dale,dale2 dale2:x:1000: root@fireball / # What I would like to do is get rid of things that shouldn't be there. It appears I have a group or two that shouldn't exist. I guess anyway. I know about groupdel but want to make sure before I actually do anything AGAIN. When I did this a few minutes ago, kdm would let me login until I restored group and passwd. Should I have a group called dale and dale2? Those are my users. dale is my main account and dale2 is for when I need to test a clean account. Does anyone see anything else that needs fixin here? Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
