Hi Folks:

I have installed RH 6.2 on a 10 GB HDD with a 8MB /boot and the rest as /.

I notice that I cannot use the /misc directory which was possible with RH 5.2.
 When I try to copy a file into it, I get the following message:

        cp:cannot create regular file 'filename': Permission denied.

When I tried to create a file in the /misc directory using an editor, this is 
what I get

        error opening file.

ls shows the following:

        drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Nov 14 09:59 misc
        
I reinstalled it and still the problem persists.  Is this the way it ought to 
be?
What could be the problem? I have a few scripts which I wrote which use this
directory and I don't want to change them if you can help.

Vasanth
