In that output you see lines chgrp games /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/src/fink.build/root-xinvaders-2.1.2-3/Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/bin/xinvaders and chgrp games /Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/src/fink.build/root-xinvaders-2.1.2-3/Volumes/SandBox/fink/sw/var/games/xinvaders These will fail if you don't have a group "games" on your system. By default, such a group doesn't exist on MacOSX; the passwd package installs it by modifying the netinfo database. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
