Strange Calendar Problem

[MtnMichael]

Was hoping someone might have seen or overcome this oddity.

Setup is:
SL-5500
Sharp ROM 3.10

**
I'm getting an odd problem with the standard Calendar App, in that when I try to change my view for the whole month, the application simply dies.      All other views work great.

Data files aren't corrupt and the only thing I've "changed" since then, is the quick launch.  I turned it off so as not to consume memory.

Now here's the interesting part:  If I run this application from the console as root, it works just lovely.  So I _suspect_ there's maybe a file or something it's trying to update, that it doesn't have permission to(?).  Or possibly trying to update a directory somewhere?  There's obviously something slightly different enough between root and zaurus, that it now fails.    Or take a lock on something?  I'm at a loss and kinda guessing what may be going on.  But I was thinking if it runs as root, then there's something to do with permissions.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

PS - when I run the application as zaurus from console, it fails as well, when going to month view.  Gives me a message about the child process finishing unexpectedly.

An update.

While looking again through the forums, I stumbled upon the 'sudo' command.  Forgot I had that loaded for BT, so decided to try "sudo datebook" as user zaurus.  It works!

So there's definitely a permissions problem somewhere, but it's not clear to me what it's looking for or trying to ?

Again, this worked last week and sadly I have not altered anything since then.

Ok, I think I know the issue and how to correct it.

Go into the terminal, and type these commands:
su
chown -R zaurus /home/zaurus/

Then try the calendar. If it doesn't work, then just restart Qtopia and try again.

Well, rather than changing _everything_, any clues as to which file?

Thanks Gentlemen!!

Ok, the OpenSSH FAQ did the trick.  I totally missed this one.  Apologies for the oversite.

The specific issue causing the problem was the OpenSSH directory under /home/zaurus/Documents.  :-(  Somehow I missed these in my searches.  

Anyway, as a quick test I simply set perms wide open (777) for this directory (OpenSSH) and all is good.  So I guess these files are "thumb-nailed" in datebook for some reason?  Or does the OS scan _all_ documents within the Documents/?  I'm assuming it's the thumbnail issue, since it's only the month view that was crashing the application.  To bad this feature can't be turned on for main ROM.    

Thanks again!!
