In short, everything is a symlink to /bin/vim, but /bin/vim doesn't have execute permissions. Why/How can this be? Does anyone else have this utter strangeness?

Christopher, is your machine running at runlevel 3 only? Just curious. Thanks for all the responses. I should have said I'm running 42.3. I just changed the perms to 755, but this is turning out to be the most whacked-out Linux install I've ever seen, and that includes SLS from 1993. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
