Issue w/External Commands

[Daniel Jimenez]

Interestingly enough I discovered this almost at the exact same second this
email came through. I appreciate everyone's help. Yes, the docs did not
specify I needed "g+x" for us newbies. :)

Thanks again all.

That is one problem right there.  You should chmod that directory to 2770 
(what you see now is 2760).

The documentation assumes that the directory's initial mode is 0755, and if 
that was the case, the following the directions would work.  However, in my 
case, the directory's initial mode was 0700, and the instructions left me 
with drwxrwS--- (or 2760) instead of the needed drwxrws--- (or 2770, note 
the lowercase 's').

Thanks to Jim Carroll for his help on that one (2003/02/10).
