However, I've run into some bizarre problems. I obviously don't want to run dosemu on a port on the internet as root. However, when I attempt to run LORD as a non-root user, dosemu just exits, with no error messages or anything. As root, everything works fine. I've mucked around with the config, given all users "c_all" in /etc/dosemu/dosemu.users, but to no avail. I've made sure that the permissions on my drdos directory allowed writing by all users, and that didn't help either. So, I'm sortof at a loss here. Any idea what the problem is, or what I can do about it? Graeme Humphries
