I re-ran them. Incidentally, all those sh files had permission 000; interestingly, I was still able to execute them. I had expected to get error messages "can not execute...". Most went well, but on some, I got errors: pdksh.sh: @(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2: not found Installing default /etc/ksh.kshrc install: cannot stat `/usr/share/pdksh-/ksh.kshrc': No such file or directory Installing default /etc/profile.ksh install: cannot stat `/usr/share/pdksh-/profile.ksh': No such file or directory pinfo.sh: WARNING!
