Ok, well, I went back and played with the 10/25/1999 snapshot dll,
and setting nontsec vs ntsec. If I use nontsec, this mode
causes the dll to change permissions on files I write out such that
I can't write to those files again. If I leave it in ntsec mode and
add appropriate /etc/passwd entries, it works, but file access is
slower, presumable because it is looking up permissions.
Is there any way to get the snapshot to work under "nontsec" as the
CD version did?
I'm not real clear on what it means when you say that the DLL
is compatible, but the library and object files may not be, but
I'm guessing there is something else I need to do when I play
with snapshots.
