Heres
why...
<SPAN

I downloaded it,
extracted it, and was initially worried by lack of documentation, source, or, in
fact, anything other than the binary. (fartoo many ,'s in that sentence).
Anyway, ran it, and was told 'permission denied'. Odd, I thought, checked the
permissions, and sure enough, executable by anyone.

Well, then I tried
to do something else, but nothing was responding. Logged out, logged in, and
couldn't! I can now log in to a console, but not in kdm. X simply restarts and
presents me with the login prompt again.

I currently have
permission to do the following:
<SPAN

<SPAN
class=560033723-20012000> Run programs
listed under /home/craig, and which already are set to belong to
me.
<SPAN
class=560033723-20012000> Thats
it.
<SPAN
class=560033723-20012000>
I can log in as root
OK, and do anything I damn well like, but not with any other
user.
<SPAN
class=560033723-20012000>
Now what I want to
know is, how do I put this hunk o' junk back to normal, and prevent such nasties
happening again.
<SPAN
class=560033723-20012000>
I can't remember,
unfortunately, wether I was logged in as me, or su'ed to root when running it.
As far as I can remember tho', I was only logged in as me.

Please help quickly,
as I have several assignments which need completing as soon as poss, in being
unable to even look at them is quite unfortunate.
Thanks in
advance,
