Ok, here is my first mistake: i monitored the ping traffic generated by big sister and it comes out, that big sister is addressing the udp echo port (7) for ping test. So "echo" must be enabled on the destination host. You may verify it with the command "telnet <host> echo". If it is disabled, uncomment it in inetd.conf and send a HUP signal to inetd to reload intetd's configuration. > I tried adjusting my uxmon-asroot and uxmon-net files as per your example. > However, when starting /etc/init.d/bigsister as user "bs", bigsister is > still just grinding to a halt when it attempts to load uxmon-asroot.

It will drop privileges to the bigsister-user after startup. Simply start bs at root and verify with 'ps aux |grep sister', that it's indeed running with the bigsister-user. regards, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte's Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.
