I have a problem with "/etc/server -p file" running shell scripts. It runs
them fine if I am root, but if not, /com/sh scripts will work, but
/bin/csh ones will not.  The simple test scripts are:

#!/bin/csh
/bin/ls /tmp > /tmp/out

#!/com/sh
/bin/ls /tmp > /tmp/out

/etc/server just returns immediately from the bin/csh script without doing
anything, but the /com/sh one works fine.  Same on a 10000 and a 3000.

I think I must have something locked down funny, but couldn't see any
pathnames in /etc/server that would be the cause.  Does anyone have any
ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
