I have tried lowering the security level using msec, to no avail. Is there documentation somewhere on the secure kernel patch ? At the moment I am running bb as root, but would desperately like to not.

If you lower the security level ov Mandrake (or probably just use some stock kernel source) then Big Brother should begin to function the way you want it to. I take it you are not running BB as root? -- Jon Changnon, Director of Operations e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] p: 440.951.9525 http://www.dncc.net
