- The earliest utilities disks (-UK and -US) distributed with this version
- had an entry './' in one of the tar files that changed the permissions
- on the root directory. This is now fixed, but you may still have an
- older utilities disk. Login as root and type
-
- chmod 555 /
-
- Then login as something else, and see if your problem persists.
