Attempting to run makedev resulted in
$ cd /usr/sbin
$ ksh makedev
makedev[1]: Mze.........: not found
makedev[2]: syntax error: ....... text' unexpected
It almost looks like I have some corruption. I did run all this from a
user account ksh but with login as Administrator and verified that I
was the Administrator.
Maybe I'll have to uninstall SFU and start over from scratch.
Thanks, Brian A
