I have installed notes on my Sun 3/50 (OS 3.5) and I am having some problems that I was hoping someone had encountered previously. When I run notes as the user 'notes', everything works fine, however when i try to run it as joe user the screen refreshes and I just go back to the shell prompt. I thought it may be something to do with privileges but I double checked everything and it seems right. Anyone have any ideas? -chris -- Chris North chris@cayman.COM Cayman Systems 26 Landsdowne Street Cambridge MA 02139 617-494-1999

Is notes running setgid? Do the notes directories have permissions rwx
for group notes? Do the files inside have permissions rw for group
also?
Judging from your note, I think your setgid problem may be it...

Could you list the files and their permissons. Do you have the notes open for use ? Maybe the only "authorized" user is notes. I have not seen this before so I'm just guessin. jim sadler

I have seen this problem, and you are right: it does usually relate
to file permissions. Make sure that all notes directories are
owned by {notes,notes}, and have user and group permissions.
Also make sure that "notes" itself is owned by {notes,notes} and
does a set-group-id. You might also check your passwd entry for
the "notes" user: the HOME directory should be where your notes
utilities reside, since some notes commands look there to determine
where LIBDIR is.
It has been a while since I had this same problem, so I might have
missed something obvious. If none of these things help, let me
know, and I'll do a more thourough head-scratch! Good luck.
