This is a simple OS protection/permission error. It can't write to the file or can't create the directory /root/fontcache. The obvious solution is to check the protections and/or make the file and set the permissions. But, or rather _but!_, something is wrong in your setup. Its not obvious what, but it is very bad form to run things like the slimserver as root and it really should use trying to write to a directory owned by a user with a name like 'slimserver' and trying to write to a directory with a name like /home/slimserver/fontcache Try starting it from a normal user shell and see if that gives hints as to what file/directory needs its protections fixed. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
