Could it be the case that the GUI is running as a different (non root) user and that the /root directory does not have permissions for that user to traverse into ? In other words, if "ls -ld /root" shows the permissions as "drwx------", then you can either change the permissions of /root to 755 or move the LDIF file under a directory that is traversable by the user running the GUI. I would prefer the latter. -=Venkat=- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
