Is there an error when you try todelete something?

Also, you can try "su -", that will give you root's path, not just it's priviliges.

[cool@hathway cool]$ su
Password:
[root@hathway cool]# cd Desktop
[root@hathway Desktop]# ls
crc/  Home.desktop  Trash/  Welcome.desktop love80's
[root@hathway Desktop]# chmod 777 crc
[root@hathway Desktop]# cd crc
[root@hathway crc]# ls
crc*  crclient*  README*
[root@hathway crc]# ./crclient -u james
./crclient: already logged in with process id 2338
[root@hathway crc]#
[root@hathway crc]#

I am getting this error even as root

./crclient: already logged in with process id 2338

this is the file with which i login into my broadband network.

I deleted the file /var/log/crclient.log as my network admin suggested
because the system was shut down because of my mistake in a non proper way

Any help pl. i am having to shuffle between mandrake and windows to
post my queries.. lol

I want to login as root right from the begining or have root rights right fromthe begining when my pc boots.
I put my id - cool as member of adm, root
primary gp adm

Still

yes I was getting the error ... no permission .something.

But as root somehow managed to delete the crclient log file.
Thats telling the PC that I am logged in when actually i am not.
