the links were okay, the problem is elsewhere. if i telnet into the
machine and log in as alex gawk works fine. what i usually do is to
rlogin from an sgi to a different account and then su to alex. under
these circumstances gawk fails with permission denied. i have no idea
if this is a bug or not.
