What the heck is going on here? It's got to be something obvious,
right? The page is in the manpath. The page is listed in the
whatis. The user has access to the directory and permission to read
the file. The user can get the page for the item next to it with the
same permissions in the same location...
Info about two users who can't seem to be able to read the page,
[132:~] id
uid=502(penn) gid=502(penn) groups=502(penn), 501(cjc)
[116:~] id
uid=510(netrek) gid=510(netrek) groups=510(netrek), 501(cjc)
And one who can,
[112:~] id
uid=501(cjc) gid=501(cjc) groups=501(cjc), 0(wheel), 5(operator)
This one is a member of wheel, but the files are all 644 (and the
diretories are all 755 from the root up to cat1). Clue?
