I'm experiencing some problems using mtools under Linux .96c.  I have
the /etc/mtools file configured, and the symbolic links to the mtools
binary. If I'm logged on as 'root', I can mdir, mcopy, etc.  If I'm
logged as a normal user (50:50), I get the following error message.

$ mcopy /usr/spool/treasure.rep 'c:\robotmp\treasure.rep'
init: open: EPERM

Here are the listings for /usr/bin

The /etc/mtools file belongs to root:root but everyone has read/write
permission on it.  I've also tried using 'chown bin:disk' on the mtools
binary as someone here suggested but it still doesn't work.

Also, anyone with a FidoNet address have the compiled 'od' binary
available for FREQ?  Thanks.
