No, definitively not ("file /usr/sbin/wn" shows "/usr/sbin/wn: ELF 32-bit LSB
executable, Intel 386, version 1, stripped") -- BTW, it's a web server.

I got another tip to look after a missing library and tried "ldd
/usr/sbin/wn", but this shows the message "ldd: can't execute /usr/sbin/wn (No
such file or directory)" :( ?????????
