This is probably because the permission for /dev/dsp has not been set correctly. The permissions are 666, uid:gid of root.sys. You may do the following as root: o check present setup with "ls -al /dev/dsp". It should be like: crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 14, 3 Month Dt Year /dev/dsp o If it is not rw-rw-rw do a chmod 666 as root.

All distros inclusive of RH has this created during basic installation itself ... It is a character device (or should be one). How a 64mb file can be created beats me hollow :-( HTH Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Extracting single line from text file LOST #216 To extract a single line at line no "N" from a text file do: $head -N textfile.txt | tail -1 ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>#################################### : ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
