Message-ID: <9208141422.AA17205@cs.utexas.edu> Date: 14 Aug 92 14:23:13 GMT Article-I.D.: cs.9208141422.AA17205 Sender: daemon@cs.utexas.edu Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway Lines: 8 NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu Under the advice of someone else on this list, I created the fd0 devices (sh MAKEDEV fda) Now I can get mwrite and mdir to work, but only from root? Is this normal? When using it from another id, it still gives: init: open: file or directory not found -Dan stdn@vm.marist.edu
