Potts) Subject: 386bsd: permission denied for all but root! Message-ID: <jnpotts.719958967@vincent2.iastate.edu> Sender: news@news.iastate.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1992 20:36:07 GMT Lines: 18 Help! I'm not sure what I just did, but I had logged on to my usual username, and then done an su. I did a little bit of housecleaning, and then returned to normal user. After this, all users except for root get permission denied for EVERYTHING. It won't even run a shell for them at login. What in the heck have I done?! And how can I fix it?! As far as I know, I didn't touch anything but some files in the /root directory. Please help me!!!!! James -- _____________________________________________________________________ James N.
