Thanks Simone, I'll look into all your advice as soon as possible. I've gone back to do backups with my old retired machine since I can't be without backups too long, so I'll wait till the coming weekend to work again on the problem. And I'll not touch my selinux setup. If a programme doesn't work with selinux it won't be installed on my system. -- Regards, Erik P. Olsen, M.Sc.
