Hello Newsgroup ! I accidently deleted a file in /var/run called "log" with following rights: srw-rw-rw- As far as I know, that is a socket file. chmod +s does not set the "s" on the first place. My system (1.6.1/i386) did not recreated that file after the reboot, but still works fine. How can I recreate that file ? Thank you very much. Regards, Zafer.
