Hi ALL,

This is an easy one, the setup for the posix shell only gives permission to
MANAGER.SYS to access a lot of the files and directories to run the shell
properly as anything other than MANAGER.SYS...

As MANAGER.SYS enter the shell and cd /usr/lib, do ls -l and see the
permissions on terminfo. Use chmod to allow access to this I think I setr
mine to 555 ie. read and execute to everyone. Within this directory are the
termcap files for each terminal type. You may need to chmod this filke as
well!!

I also allowed read access to /usr/local trying to get samba up!!

I hope this helps.
