Thanks Mike for the suggestions.
I tried it several ways - reboot and login as 'olenz'; reboot and login as
'root'. In each case 'startx' after login. Same results - as root, runs
fine; as 'olenz', Not.
Checked permissions and played with '#chmod 4555 Maelstrom' to try it both
ways. This changes the error messages - but the end result is the same -
runs as 'root', not as 'olenz'.
'su olenz' or 'su -olenz' doesn't make any difference - same effect.
Thanks anyway - I'll keep on plugging.
Otto.
