-- Thank you again Richard, Sorry if I am being a little slow on the uptake but I am not a little confused. [root@localhost root]# ls -l /usr/bin/xcdroast -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 526008 Feb 27 13:30 /usr/bin/xcdroast* [root@localhost root]# ls -l /usr/bin/mkisofs -rwxr-xr-x 2 root cdwriter 371640 Feb 28 15:30 /usr/bin/mkisofs* [root@localhost root]# ls -l /usr/bin/readcd -rwxr-s--- 1 root cdwriter 106776 Feb 28 15:30 /usr/bin/readcd* [root@localhost root]# ls -l /usr/bin/cdda2wav -rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdwriter 189176 Feb 28 15:30 /usr/bin/cdda2wav* Which suggests that all four files are owned by root, with root as the group user of xcdroast, but that mkisofs,readcd, cdda2wav all have group user as "cdwriter". Now I would of thought since they are ancilliary programmes to xcdroast , this seems OK to me. but , [root@localhost root]# xcdroast -d /usr/bin/xcdroast ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/mkisofs ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/readcd ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/cdda2wav So, then there is something wrong with the uid of group user of the three files ? If I understand this correctly uid means user identity. Is the problem then to correctly define uid of cdwriter ? so does chmod command change uid of group owner cdwriter, but O'Rilley implies chmod changes the attributes of users. I am utterly confused right now.I don't know what I need to do, and why, let alone understand the commands you so kindly exampled. but the fact is that xcdroast is failing to cashe audio files.Whoever the owner is,and whether the group user of these files is root or something else. All this is terribly confusing. I need this taking one step at a time. Ideally Xcdroast ought to be owned by root, with named group users and named individual users. I thougfht that the last section in settings of xcdroast was about helping do that. All the ancilliary programmes like mkisofs,readcd,cdda2wav and many more, ought to be owned by root, and have group users which includes cdwriter.and named users ? All I want to do is be able to cashe and write audio files in xcdroast. John John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
