Re: MSN works only as root

Hello,
        Thanks for your script,but the problem is I could not gunzip the 
file, but with the small hint you provided , i made my own perl script to 
create a msn contact list in EB format and they are working fine. Thanks for 
all your help.

       Also I have one more issue with MSN :). It works fine when I login as 
root on my redhat 7.0.,but when I login as different user , I could login to 
MSN but gives an error
"MSN: Error: An error has occured while communcating with the MSN Messenger 
server: Invalid friendly name (code 209)".

   Let me know if there is any solution for this problem


Thanks
-ganesh
