It seems to be working correctly now, tho' only time will tell. |
| 18 |
I believe I needed to reboot to get the new version set up properly |
| 19 |
& instead I initially tried a "setuid root", which used to be required. |

Now apparently, it is strickly forbidden (grimace). |

Anyway, after a remerge & reboot & no "setuid", it got going as it should. |
