After mucking about with several files on my MacIIcx (including the xterm.icon, sysinitrc, bcheckrc, etc), I found that I could no longer call up a new xterm from the 'twm' manager. The error message I am getting is: xterm: Error 14, errno 13: Permission denied Figuring that something was a little screwy, I rebooted my machine and found that I could not call up X anymore as it craps out with the same error message. I've looked through the /dev directory and all of the X11 directories and haven't been able to find anything bizarre. The really strange part is that I have the same problem when I attempt to call up X as root... Can anyone tell me what is likely to be causing this problem? I suppose I could reinstall either or both of A/UX and X, but since I have them both on floppies, that option is definitely low on the priorities scale. I appreciate any help, as I am stumped. Frequently, this is a problem with NFS writing to a file that has only root permission. NFS does not recognixe root over the net. I am assuming of course that errno 13 is the EPERM. If NFS is not involved, I have no other immediate clues.
