Can you find the mailman line where lynx is started? If so, change it to something like # su safe_user lynx [lynx arguments] Then it will run as "safe_user", obviously you should put there some user who has the minimum amount of permissions necessary to get the lynx job done. There may be a better way to fork a process under another user, but that's the only one I know off the top of my head. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll dig for another one. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
