[comp.os.minix] Elle under 1.5.0

nall@nu.cs.fsu.edu (John Nall) (01/04/90)

Two problems concerning the use of elle with 1.5.0 (although
this is the old binary of elle - I have not recompiled it
with 1.5.0).

(1)  With the new /usr/src/tools/etc_termcap copied over to
     /etc/termcap elle goes sort of wild if ctrl-k is used in
     rapid succession on a file.  With the old /etc/termcap, it
     is ok (but the old one won't support the new man command).

(2)  Here is the real kicker, however....logging in as a regular
     user (not root), and using elle, I immediately get a line
     which says:

                SBXERR: 0 Swapout creat err (A,B,C,D,S,W,?).

     However, as root this does not occur.  Any ideas?????

I ran into this before.  All I did to fix this was chmod +s elle, and it
worked.  So, set the setuid and setgid bits for elle, and you'll be in
business (Or does that only set the setuid bit?  No matter, it works).
