According to the POSIX specification, ELIBACC is not in the list of expected errors from open(). See <URL: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/open.html > for the full specification. Can you provide some example code explaining what kind of error you believe should cause open() to return ELIBACC? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
