[Voyage-linux] Problems with su -- SOLVED

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

Please ignore last post.

I was looking at the /etc instead of etc in voyage directory.

Got new copy of 0.8 and it installed OK. I am pretty sure I run the
correct 'tar.....' command last time.

Anyway, it seem to be happy now -- thanks for all your help.

'su' works OK now.

So, for the record -- 'su' failures are happening because file
permissions are set incorrectly to the ones from desktop system.
