If the hwinfo command were setuid root, I'd agree with you. It is executable by non-root, but that does not give the user running it superuser rights, so I'd expect some "permission denied" and the like. So, to be sure, I'd either run it as root, or with sudo. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
