- Currently when anyone besides root logs in they are given bin
- privilages. whoami always shows bin while who shows the correct users
- loged in. I am running off of a highly modified mcc-interim release.
- Just before the problem occured I copied the shutdown binaries from
- the 0.96 root disk. I also copied mount, and a few other programs
- from the root disk (I can't remember them all now). I checked the
- /etc/passwd file and the /etc/group file and everything seems ok. Any
- Ideas?
- Thanks in advance.
