Greetings all:

I am getting the following error when I try to start INND by typing "service
innd start"

Starting INND system: sh: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: Permission denied

My system is running Linux Mandrake 8.0 with all updates applied up to
today.  I originally un-installed INN and installed Leafnode.  Now I want to
switch back so I un-installed leafnode and installed the INND rpm via urpmi.
I have tried un-installing it again, deleting any directories it said it was
unable to and then installing again but that didn't seem to help.  The file
it mentions - /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions has the following permissions -

-rwxr-xr-x  1   root    root    11680   Apr 17  11:20

I think that is correct but let me know if I am wrong.  It would seem to be
a permissions issue but I don't know where.  I would have thought that
removing leafnode, deleting the associated directories that rpm did not, and
then installing a fresh INND using urpmi would work but it is missing
something.
