When I try to run the "find" command on the remote Unix host
at "sdf.lonestar.org" I get a "Permission denied" error.
When I change to the directory where the find command is
located and I try to make the file executable for me I get an
error "Operation not permitted".  Could I get a "find" command
from some other source and upload it into my own directory
and execute the command from there?
