Ah, I suspected that the paranoid secuirty changed it. Isn't it just as bad though to
leave the permissions open on /usr/bin?
As a normal user, you cannot even execute ls without specifiying the full pathname of
the file.
Thanks for the help! This machine I am installing Mdk 7 on is going to be a
NFS/Matlab License server for the scientists I support. I
hope Linux nfsd works well with the mixed environment we have (SunOS 4+, SunOS 5+,
Tru64, Linux, FreeBSD).
Also, can someone answer my question regarding my system not shutting down properly?
It appears as if the system shuts down the
network interface BEFORE it trys to killall, and it hangs. Some network-centric
program is trying to be killed AFTER the network
interface is down, and it's casing a problem. I have to reboot the system without a
complete graceful shutdown, and fsck has to be run
as a resutl - not good.
Thanks!
