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. {^_^} Joanne _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
