I downloaded JDK 1.4 off of the sunjava website. I had chosen the linux version and my FreeBSD box is all ready to go for linux emu. I run java or javac, and I get a core. I was just about to delete them (I had logged in root now to do the task) and I thought I would invoke them one more time, and to my surprise they executed just fine. Surely it must of been a path criss-cross I thought, but I checked it and I checked it twice, and sure enough, my new JDK 1.4 won't let me run it except as root. I even managed to compile a few test files. Naturally, I'm not about to go developing in root so I decided I'll just use my wife's windows machine for the time being until I can get a lower privileged account to work. What is up with this???
