OK. Slimserver does not have permissions to read "user" home directory. Your options are: 1. Grant permission for slimserver to read your "user" home directory. 2. Put your music files somewhere else where both "user" and "slimserver" can access them I would take option 2. Something like: As root: groupadd music usermod -G music -a user mkdir /home/music chown user:music /home/music chmod 775 /home/music As user: cp -R /home/user/files/mp3/* /home/music/ This arrangement means that anyone in the group "music" has the ability to write files to the /home/music directory, and the files created should be readable by any user (inc. slimserver) If the files are not readable, you can fix the permissions after copying the files by using: chmod -R 775 /home/music R. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
