Well this is starting to look seriously weird.
My directory is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 947992 Mar 29 04:03 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Mar 29 04:03 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/jre1.3.0_02/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 38499 Mar 26 16:05 libnullplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Mar 29 04:16 nppdf.so ->
/usr/local/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4139 Mar 29 04:03 raclass.zip
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 29 04:16 rpnp.so ->
/usr/local/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2363 Mar 29 04:03 ShockwaveFlash.class
So, I don't see what the problem is. Java and Flash work for me.
