I'm new and still have a lot to learn. But I have learned that a lot of
things I
try to RPM under myself, I get the same. If I become SU, it works.
You might try this. ( If you haven't allready. )
For others reading this, is this normal?? I would think that *I* could rpm.
Not just SU.. I'm sure my user properties are not right. I still have to
log in
as SU to mount drives, even though I have changed FSTAB. ( wrong maybe? )
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
