Are you saying that even if you logged on as root you couldn't delete files from /tmp? Or could you delete the files, but the disk didn't get any emptier? If the latter was your problem, it could be that some program or programs had the files open that you were trying to delete. Rebooting t

You can (and should, I think) use rsync with openssh in order to make it secure. The failure before would happen if (wisely, I think) your computers are set up to prevent use of the insecure rsh. Assuming you have openssh installed, try modifying your command to rsync -e ssh ipass:/home/gar

Changing "noauto" to "auto" in a /etc/fstab line means the device will be mounted at boot. It does not mean it will be mounted at the time someone tries to access the cd reader. On the other hand, autofs can be used to mount the cdrom when an attempt is made to access /mnt/cdrom, or magicdev
