I did a bit of a dirty work around by editing the webmin module to circumvent the error checking of file access/permissions. I edited this file: *************************************************************************************** /usr/libexec/webmin/dansguardian/dansguardian-lib.pl *************************************************************************************** Then found this section: *************************************************************************************** ############## sub accessfile ############## { # does the user have permission to modify this file? my ($filepath) = @_; ($filepath =~ m{\b([^/.]+?)(f\d+)?\.(conf|20\d+)$}) || ($filepath =~ m{\b([^/.]+?)(f\d+)?$}); my $listname = $1; my $group = $2; $group = 'local' if ($filepath =~ m/\blocal\b/); $group = 'f0' if ! $group; (my $branch) = ($filepath =~ m/\b(blacklists|phraselists|authplugins|contentscanners|downloadmanagers)/); return 0 if ((! $branch) && (! $listname) && (! $group)); # parse failure, wha??? return failure $listname = 'conf' if $listname eq 'dansguardian'; $listname = $branch if ($branch && (! exists($basefilepermissions{$listname}))); $listname = 'picsfile' if $listname eq 'pics'; $listname =~ s/list.*$/list/ if $listname ne $branch; # truncate filenames only, not directory names if (exists $basefilepermissions{$listname}) { return 1 if $access{$basefilepermissions{$listname}}; } else { return 1 if ($access{$listname} && $access{$group}); } return 0; } *************************************************************************************** and changed the final "return 0;" to "return 1;" this basically overrides all file access error checking. Yes it is a messy fix but now I can edit my files in webmin. I am sure some time down the road this will come back to haunt me but for now all I care about is that I can edit my DG files via webmin. I think whole issue is due to having webmin and DG running as a different users. James.

Did you ever resolve this? James.
