At CMU we use AFS a great deal. I've run into was seems to be a bad interaction between AFS and rc. Consider this program: $ C:/inc/graphlib>ll glclock -rwx------ 1 14061 0 319488 Apr 24 18:22 glclock* I log into the CS cell get my tokens with klog so I have access to this program in the Andrew cell. Thus, even though I don't own the file or have access to it via the rwx flags, I should be able to run it, however, C:/inc/graphlib>./glclock ./glclock: Permission denied [status 1] Now if I, C:/inc/graphlib>sh $ ./glclock It works fine. Is this fixable without special casing for AFS? joshp
