When you do a "ls-l /", what do you get for WIN_D? It should be drwxrwxrwx. If it is not, then you have not set up your permissions correctly. You might be able to correct this by becoming root and doing the following: chmod 777 /WIN_D Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
