I probably need to go read the papers regarding permissions 10 more times, but this just doesn't seem right to me. I'm logged in as 'ben' via drawterm:
cpu% cat /adm/users adm:adm:adm:sys,bootes,ben ben:ben::adm,sys bootes:bootes::ben glenda:glenda:glenda: none:none:: noworld:noworld:: sys:sys::glenda,bootes,ben upas:upas:: cpu% ls -l /dev/sd00 | grep nvram --rw-r----- S 0 bootes bootes 512 Mar 7 2010 /dev/sd00/nvram cpu% cat /dev/sd00/nvram cat: can't open /dev/sd00/nvram: '/dev/sd00/nvram' permission denied cpu% Does that not say that if I'm a member of the bootes group, I should be able to cat that? Thanks in advance for not flogging me with the manual, and forgiveness for spending too much time in UNIX-land lately! :) -Ben
