Thanks very much for the pointer, Donn. That directory was, in fact, inaccessible to mere mortals. It was also a day older than everything else in there, implying that the later install didn't replace it, for whatever reason. I chose to remove the old installation and reinstall from scratch, and the permissions on the new installation were just fine, and everything seems to be working fine, too. (Relearned) Moral of the Story: Beware installing over a previous installation. --lester
