and reinstalled Guarddog without any change in behavior. Having the problem on
my recently installed PCLinuxOS minime .93a. Didn't have the problem with prior
versions of PCLinux or with the MEPIS distro I'm running Guarddog on in another
slice. Suggestions?

I assume you are clicking on the menu selection under 'System'?  Make sure that
the menu selection has you start the program as root instead of as yourself.  To
do this, right click Guarddog and select 'edit item'.  The kde menu editor
should open with guarddog showing.  Make sure you put an x in the 'Run as
different user' box and type 'root' beside Username:.  Save your changes and
close menu editor. Now you should get a prompt to enter your root password and
you should be good to go.  You can also use 'sudo guarddog' (without the '') as
a run command if you have sudo set up.
