      root always causes more problems.  But yes, privileges aree an

restrictive privileges for good reason - a user does not need such
restrictions.

I am working on code all the time.  If you want my new tasks and bug
fixes, you need to run the MNJ.  Some users run it once a month, some
every day.

I will show the mnj messages to Wes our systems guru.
