So, are things still not working? I am unsure given what you sent above. If they are not, I could logon and poke around to see what may be happening if you like. To do this, I would need the logins for 'ldm' and 'mcidas' and, perhaps 'root' (in case some directory ownerships were incorrect. If you want me to logon, please send the passwords to my email account, address@hidden, with no mention of the user names. Tom
