I have a fresh install of Mandrake 10.1 but Mozilla and Firefox will only run from a Konsile as root.. Konqueror is fine from a "normal" user Any ideas? Thanks

Odd it works for me :) Lets try permissions on the binary files first. I'll assume that you've installed the browsers from the Mandrake distribution so Mozilla is launched with mozilla and that Firefox is launched with mozilla-firefox. Note the difference between an apostrophe (') and a backquote (`). The backquote on most UK keyboards is to the left of 1. Log in as root and at a console: chmod go=rx `which mozilla` chmod go=rx `which mozilla-firefox` chmod -Rv go=rx /usr/libs/mozilla chmod -Rv go=rx /usr/libs/mozilla-fi<TAB> Then try running the browsers. If it still doesn't work, then check the path with the following: Log in as root and: which mozilla-firefox which mozilla note the paths output by these commands Now log in as yourself and type: echo $PATH If the directory containing mozilla and mozilla-firefox is listed in your own path then all is OK. Otherwise, type the following: export PATH="$PATH:/path/returned/by/which" and try again. If that worked, add the above export command to the end of your $HOME/.bashrc file and you should all be set. A command to do this in one fell swoop is: echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/path/returned/by/which"' >> ~/.bashrc (all on one line) You might need to add this line for each restricted user on the system. Be careful to type everything character for character (substituting /path/returned/by/which obviously) or else you may do more damage than good. Oh where is says /path/returned/by/which, leave off the final /mozilla or /mozilla-firefox at the end. Hope i've helped. Nick
