     I'm having a problem with xterm running under A/UX.  
   After mucking about with several files on my MacIIcx 
   (including the xterm.icon, sysinitrc, bcheckrc, etc),
   I found that I could no longer call up a new xterm
   from the 'twm' manager.  The error message I am getting
   is:
	 xterm: Error 14, errno 13: Permission denied

     Figuring that something was a little screwy, I rebooted
   my machine and found that I could not call up X anymore 
   as it craps out with the same error message.  I've looked
   through the /dev directory and all of the X11 directories
   and haven't been able to find anything bizarre.
     The really strange part is that I have the same problem
   when I attempt to call up X as root... 

     Can anyone tell me what is likely to be causing this problem?
   I suppose I could reinstall either or both of A/UX and X, but
   since I have them both on floppies, that option is definitely
   low on the priorities scale.

	   I appreciate any help, as I am stumped.

Frequently, this is a problem with NFS writing to a file that has only
root permission. NFS does not recognixe root over the net. I am
assuming of course that errno 13 is the EPERM. If NFS is not involved,
I have no other immediate clues.
