Well that might provide an explanation of how things went pear-shaped. I 
don't remember what the perms were but when I went checking, they were 
NOT drwxrwxrwxt... Possibly I inadvertently borked that...which lead to 
all of the other (self-inflicted!) pain.  Dang, I hate it when that 
happens...

Plus of coursee a minor typo error in my.cnf...NO SPACES ALLOWED BESIDE 
THE '=' SIGN!....

Did I mention 'dang, I hate when that happens...'?

Interestingly, neither the laptop nor the desktop server have the sticky 
bit set. The fileserver does however.

Thanks
