Summary: r stands for restricted Message-ID: <72104@sun.uucp> Date: 8 Oct 88 01:48:01 GMT References: <184@tcville.HAC.COM> Sender: news@sun.uucp Lines: 11 In article <184@tcville.HAC.COM>, rob@sparky.HAC.COM (Rob Henderson) writes: > /usr/local/bin/fixdrip_account: /sparky/rob/tmp/script.sh: restricted [ refer to original article for detailed description of problem] The problem is that /bin/sh has chosen to become "restricted". It did this, believe it or not, because of the 'r' in "fixdrip_account". This is in TFM, although the injunction RTFM would seem rude given the peculiar character of this feature. If you regard this feature as a bug, you will be glad to know it is "fixed in 4.0". You don't want to know what feature the 'x' activates... :-}
