Lines: 16 Message-ID: <52jf18$5rd@post.servtech.com> Reply-To: housley@pr-comm.com (James Housley) NNTP-Posting-Host: prcomm.roc.servtech.com X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.2.5 I believe that there is some information missing from the book and possibly the online documentation. In chapter #4: Installing FreeBSD on pages 58-59 it talks about moving /var and /tmp to the /usr partition. The problem is that depending upon the value of umask regular users may not have access to these directories. I came across the problem when using Mosaic. --- James E.
