Michael did post a message to this list in june. Maybe he got another job and a different email address? There isn't much upstream work to talk about. I wrote and maintain the dnotify patch, and michael sometimes releases new versions, mostly with portability fixes and small bugfixes. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@redhat.com alla@lysator.liu.se He's a Nobel prize-winning hunchbacked Green Beret in a wheelchair.

I deleted some lines in a file that contained strings for 'nobody'?? I don't know what I was thinking. When I try to open fam in the shell, I get a 'Fatal misconfiguration: attempted to use unknown user name "nobody" for untrusted-user' and when I try open the file > search for files from the toolchest, I get a 'famd died' response; or a could not connect with /usr/etc/fam. Upon booting up, I get 3 popup's that say ... 'The File Alteration Monitor has stopped responding. This may cause the background and File Manager to be inaccurate. To fix this problem, it is recommended that you save all your work, log out, and log back in.' I am certain that it has to do with my incorrect deletion of these lines. I don't remember the file or the syntax. Any thoughts, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Robert ===== Thank You, Robert Christensen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Look in your /etc/passwd to get the name of a user which fam should use for unauthenticated clients. (Any user will do; you just want it to be one which has minimal access to files on your system.) Then add a line with that user in your /etc/fam.conf: # # untrusted_user is the user which will be used for unauthenticated # clients. If a file can't be stat'ed by this user, those clients won't be # able to fam it. The value can be a user name or a numeric UID. # untrusted_user = whichever_user_you_choose --Rusty
