I'm having a problem with xterm running under A/UX.
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.iarocci@Apple.COM (John Iarocci) (08/11/89)
