Hello.
I suddenly cannot run "cat" command as /bin/cat file appears to be
without
execute permissions (all other files in /bin directory are with them)
and I
get "/bin/cat: Permission denied" error.
I had a misfortune to "chmod 555 /bin/cat", then my machine panicked
(when
trying to run "cat") and was not able to boot until I changed the
/bin/cat
permissions back to read-only. Anyway the system running again but I
cannot
install almost any port that uses cat in ./configure script.
I am running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p16 on Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
(2992.52-MHz 686-class CPU), with two 200GB SATA disks and RAID1 geom
mirror.
Output of dmesg is attached as file.
Question#1: How can I get rid of this problem and repair my cat file
to be
able to install new ports again?
Question#2: Why did this happen? I mean everything worked fine for a
year or
more until I decided to use hylafax on my machine and found that it
cannot
do documet conversion.
Maybe some kind soul you trust will send you a copy of the 5.4 cat
command. I'd suspect you redirected something to /bin/cat by mistake.

Cat for i386 5.4 release can also be gotten from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.4-RELEASE/base/base.aa
just use tar to extract it.
HTH,
Micah
