Well, I have 644, 755 permissions mainly. Although in the /usr/knox/arkeia dir there are 13 or so files arkeia_0x.j12 or .lck that have 666 permissions, many haven't been written to in a long while. In /usr/knox/arkeia/dbase one file o3master.lck. Check your user management in the gui interface, make sure it is set to admin. I've also found that if you hand edit your periodic backups, they are much more prone to strange issues. I recommend using the wizard to configure your periodic backups. It sound strange, but helped me many times in fits of frustration. I have been running Arkeia for some time and completed many upgrades (both tar and rpm, I use rpm now), so I can't tell you from a clean install perspective. I can tell that from my experience Knox is very slow to release patches and fixes. In the past I've fought backing up NT 4.0 servers while loosing network connections from clients during backups and only with periodic backups, not interactive. That was going on for over 1/2 year and repeated phone calls and e-mails. The NT 4.0 patch just came out! Good luck. tb. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Wittenberg [mailto:daniel-wittenbergat_private] > Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 4:35 PM > To: bugtraqat_private > Subject: Re: permission probs with Arkeia > Importance: Low > > > I have seen this on at least 3 default-installs for arkeia. > One person as > over 1/4 million files, some 0 length, some not.
