Hi, noob question ... I've just installed MonetDB on an Ubuntu Karmic machine. I've got merovingian running: monetdb 7379 1 0 Apr06 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/merovingian but I see permission denied when I try to use monetdb on the same machine: $ monetdb status permission denied As an experiment, I have added my user to the monetdb group and I have changed the permissions so that the monetdb group can access the socket: root:/var/MonetDB5/dbfarm# ls -la total 12 drwxrwx--- 2 monetdb monetdb 4096 Apr 6 17:13 . drwxrwx--- 3 monetdb monetdb 4096 Apr 6 17:13 .. srwxrwx--- 1 monetdb monetdb 0 Apr 6 17:13 .merovingian_control -rw------- 1 monetdb nogroup 0 Apr 6 17:13 .merovingian_lock -rw------- 1 monetdb nogroup 48 Apr 6 17:13 .merovingian_pass But I still see permission denied. What's the correct way to set the system up? A pointer to whichever piece of the docs that I've missed would be ideal :) Thanks, Dave
