2988.0. "Error creating new agent.lst" by BSS::PROCTOR_R (Pet your friends) Mon Nov 20 1995 14:59

    hi:
    
    when running PROBEwatch V3.3.1 I keep getting an error when trying to
    create a new agent; 
    
    the error states:
    	"Could not create new agent.lst
    	 Please checkownership and permissions for this file"
    
    I am working without any documentation on this, my presumption was that
    the NSHOME env variable (defaulted to /usr/users/PROBEwatch) was
    somehow at fault.
    
    I chmod'd the directory (as a test) to allow all to write to the
    /usr/users/PROBEwatch/usr) diretory, but no change.
    
    can anyone shed light on this?
    
    thanx

2988.1Problem fixed?BSS::PROCTOR_RPet your friendsTue Nov 21 1995 12:3213
    I fixed the problem (I think) by chown(ing) to the user account of the
    /usr/kit/PROBEwatch/usr directory, as well as the files below it - e.g.
    
    	#chown probwat /usr/kit/PROBEwatch/usr	
    	#chown probewat /usr/kit/PROBEwatch/usr/*
    
    
    Things now seem operational.
    
    I am not sure if this is the correct thing to do, but at least it
    got the user off and running..
