I cannot seem to get chown to work from anything other than the direct
console, if I go in via another terminal as SU it tells me bad
command...  All other commands work fine from a remote terminal but
chown just refuses.  Does anyone have any idea what is causing this,
or seen this before.  I am new to bsdi and very well might be
overlooking somthing...

Thanks
