Re: error?

Yes I deleted it and when there is a post to the list, it is created
again, with the posting in the file. [Note: (the "cat" file in the
list dir has a permission 665, strange, ah? ... I have "umask 002" in
my rc.init).

I am not sure if this is a good idea but should I change the ../.bin/
files to add the path to the excutables? [like "cat=/bin/cat"; now it
is "cat=cat"]
