To add on to this a little more: This is FreeBSD 4.1.1-STALBE: Sun Oct 15 18:56:42 EDT 2000 If I do su user instead of su - user, the error is: su: /bin/tcsh: Permission denied. # ls -alF /bin/tcsh -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 625168 Oct 15 18:39 /bin/tcsh* Looks ok to me # ls -alF / | grep bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Oct 15 18:39 bin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Oct 15 18:43 sbin/ No problems there? I also noticed an interesting file in /bin, it is [ - yes, just a square left bracket. # file /bin/\[ /bin/[: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped I have NO clue what that is...Some readable text in it is: $FreeBSD: src/lib/libc/i386/ string/strcmp.S,v 1.5 1999/08/27 23:59:33 peter Exp $ as well as a bunch of other junk. I'm lost - creating new users doesn't do anything either - I've looked this up in newsgroups and such, but haven't found much info towards a solution...
