You shouldn't even have SITE enabled, it is so dangerous. Are you logging in via FTP as root??? I urge you to stop now and get a book on *nix Admin; the O'Reilly books are quite nice: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lunix5/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/esa2/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/ You need to either: 1) make these changes from the console,Or if the machine is remote 2) use ssh to log in as an unpriveledged user, the 'su' to root and make changes. 3) if the machine is on the same network, you can use telnet, but only if you are very confident that no one can sniff your root password.NEVER, EVER, EVER log in directly as root except at the console! And especially don't log in as root to insecure services like FTP (or even telnet if you are especially paranoid).John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
