Three... All have to do with accessing files belonging to root. I get this error 
message: ERROR: tpsetup must be run in root mode

This is after relogging into the box as root user, not via su. Also, said files have 
644 and root.root.

Two of the apps have to do with setting up printer daemons. One for LPRng via checkpc 
and the other is tpsetup or xtpsetup for TurboPrint. 

Checkpc dies because it can't access /etc/printcap... gotta' be root and the 
turboprint executable claims the same....

However, I am root.

Go figure. I'll be taking this box home for dissection this weekend.

Cheers, all.
