I ran the ls -l /tmp/jack* and all the files are owned by the same user 
that is running Jack.  Maybe it's just a Cyrix thing.  I'm planning on 
buying a new system soon and an MAudio 2496 Audiophile card, so 
hopefully it won't be a problem then.  Any other ideas, before then, 
I'll give it a shot.  Thanks for all of your help.
