Hello all,
	this is a brick wall... I have read the manuals about three hundred
times and I cannot figure this one out...everything was working fine one day
and the next, not!

Here is the situation: (the screen from admin, s test)

Security (test)
 
                        Password   test
                    Access level   3
               Fake level string   0
                 Privilege level   3
                Group membership   
             Waffle system shell   
 
    Inform EVENTS of account use + Y
        User can change password   Y
             Enforce time limits + N
        Permit local access only   N
         Splash file after login + Y
 
This user (test) cannot access the files section, we get the message:


14:45 (?=menu,bye=logoff) > files

Validation is required to use the FILES section.


If I try the same as a user that has Privilege level 9 it works!!

I have looked everywhere and checked all permissions on the files and
it all seemed normal, we even reverted back to older static files and the
same is happening.

Anyone can offer some Help?  Thanks.  (BTW, we run Waffle 1.65 - Unix)
