IC 4.6.5-1 rpm - Construct - Default DB - Redhat 7.0 - Perl 5.6

Hi,

Interchange has been runing great for months! (Thank you for this great
tool!) I am running  several catalogs with NO problems. I installed the rpm
as root and have been starting Interchange as root until recently when I
understood this was not safe. However, when I start Interchange as interch,
I receive these error messages:

root@curt /tmp]# su -c "/etc/rc.d/init.d/interchange start" interch
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
Starting interchange:                                      [  OK  ]
touch: /var/lock/subsys/interchange: Permission denied

Interchange does start up and seems to run fine. If I start as root, I don't
get these error messages. So far I have done this:

chown -R interch:interch /usr/lib/interchange and the same for the cat
directories
I made sure interch was in /etc/group (interch:x:101:)
/var/log/interchange/error.log looks fine (tho seems like it starts 2
processes, compared to the tarball version I used previously):

[21/June/2001:12:06:05 -0700] - - Using default DBM database.

localhost|127\.0\.0\.1
[21/June/2001:12:06:06 -0700] - - START server (6982) (INET and UNIX)

I have nothing in cat error.logs
I did: su -c "chmod -R 0770 /usr/lib/interchange" interch and got this:
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
although as root I can do chmod

Now I just did: su -c "chmod -R 0770 /home/funtime" interch and OMG now that
funtime catalog gives me "We're sorry, the Interchange server is
unavailable..." YIKES! All other catalogs are still OK.

Now even as root: chmod -R 0755 /home/funtime fails to remedy that funtime
catalog error. I can't win... Still getting the same errors, too.

The mail archives got me going in the right direction, but no success. I
think I just don't understand Linux or Interchange very well and how
permissions/groups work. I didn't have this kind of trouble before I
installed the RPM version on my own server. I could really use a little
help. Any pointers? Do I need to re-install Interchange?

Thanks to anyone for a little push.
