- I may be confused, but shouldn't 'root' be able to read and see
- ALL files on the system (outside of crypted ones, of course)?
- Well, when I go into the directory /usr/man/COHERENT my ls
- aborts and says I don't have permissions as root to see any
- files. When I execute ls from above (usr/man) into that
- directory, it works just fine. Anyone has an explanation for
- that? (Yes, I know user bin will work fine).
