I'm seeing a pattern here...

I have the same nnmaster problem, _and_ it won't execute from a script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/lib/nn
nnmaster -l -r -C

This dies with some stupid permissions problem.

I tried to set /sbin/dump to setuid to root. This works from the prompt but 
not from a script.

Looks like some 386BSD problem...
