Yea, that's what I thought too.   I can cd to / and everyting is drwxr-x---
so it looks like it's locked down pretty good all right.   I think I'll
just install again and this time I won't have it install "Fort Knox" on
security.    At least this distro found and worked the 3c509 card
correctly.  I had battled for months (on and off) trying to get RH6.1 to
see it.
