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
