Kicker.bundle is a necessary System component, when you moved it, you may have screwed up it's ownership and permissions, and it may not function properly now. You can Ctl-click and do a "Get Info" on Kicker.bundle, the permissions access should be Owner:System:read/ write; Group:Wheel:read only; everyone:read only. If these are different, change them (required admin password) or use Terminal commands. OS X is different than other unix-like OS' in that others are statically setup for networking, whereas Apple wanted OS X to dynamically monitor all network connections and automatically change with varying network environments. They used "configd" to monitor networks, and when a change is detected, it's kicker.bundles's job to go around and restart any services that need to be told that a network change has occurred. For example, after an IP change has occurred the kicker.bundle relaunches the Apple File Server and changes the local host name. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
