I tried running the c source which was recently posted in alt.source
which claimed to allow different .plan messages to be displayed as
a result of finger for ex.  Get an error message can't mknod: not
owner.  When looking at man for mknod is says that it can only be run
as su. We are running bsd4.3 here any clues.  Maybe this routine will
run on suns but we are on a VAX.  

It's so funny that you would think we all are su .  Is it him or is it me.

				Any clues or suggestions for work arounds
would be helpful.


Thanks.
