That doesn't help.

I'm venturing a guess that only the location of the file is weird then, since the stderr.log entries specifically refer to it. also my other servers have the file as well, but instead of in /tmp it's somewhere below /usr/local/lsws/admin.

can you explain the purpose of this file please? without knowing what it's for I cannot assess required security, and the whole 'secret' part makes me think it has to do with (internal) password/key exchange or the like and then it would need to be secure.

Not knowing the purpose of a 'secret' file makes me nervous, especially since lsws is proprietary software.

Also, id like to note that I pay (substantially) for support, but that I rather receive it here, on the forums -where it might benefit others later- instead of in private email. Please send me a message if you need confirmation of my support contracts. Thanks.
