Hi,

Sometimes I see a program (I think) but I can't run it, even though I'm
using root. Like this one:
-rwxr-xr-x  XF86_S3V   2043768

I thought I could at least run it and get an error, but Linux says: command
not found. I had this too when installing fortune. After logging in as a
user I could run fortune, but not before as root (fortune was in the users
PATH, does it matter?).

Gabrie
