Well, I have 644, 755 permissions mainly. Although in the /usr/knox/arkeia dir there are 13 or so files arkeia_0x.j12 or .lck that have 666 permissions, many haven't been written to in a long while. In /usr/knox/arkeia/dbase one file o3master.lck. Check your user management in the gui interface, make sure it is set to admin. I've also found that if you hand edit your periodic backups, they are much more prone to strange issues. I recommend using the wizard to configure your periodic backups. It sound strange, but helped me many times in fits of frustration. I have been running Arkeia for some time and completed many upgrades (both tar and rpm, I use rpm now), so I can't tell you from a clean install perspective. I can tell that from my experience Knox is very slow to release patches and fixes. In the past I've fought backing up NT 4.0 servers while loosing network connections from clients during backups and only with periodic backups, not interactive. That was going on for over 1/2 year and repeated phone calls and e-mails. The NT 4.0 patch just came out! Good luck. tb.

One person as over 1/4 million files, some 0 length, some not. This is on RH 6.2, 2.2.17, 2.2.19, and 2.2.16. So you have _no_ files with 666? Have you done a find for files in the /usr/knox with permissions of at least 666? nlserved is running as root, and root:root is who owns all the files in /usr/knox/* Knox finally responded to me and told me they saw it as a known "oversight" and it would be fixed in 5.0, some day, but they don't know when that will be released. I wouldn't consider that acceptable for a security patch. Dan ========================= Daniel Wittenberg System Administrator University of Iowa http://dan.its.uiowa.edu
