I had a similar problem on a solaris system. When I used the solaris tar to untar a Product that contained the lib/python/Products path as root, the lib python and Products direcories all get the ownership/permission from the tar file. I changed the ownership back to normal and everything was fine. I now untar everything as the zope user to avoid this problem.

That fixed the problem - I forgot to do a "chgrp -R other *" Thanks for the hint :) Greetings Kai -- Institut für Seeverkehrswirtschaft und Logistik http://www.isl.org/ Dipl.-Inform.
