I've been having problems using tip on 4.3BSD. When I try to use any
tilde command that requires forking a shell (~!, ~$, etc.), I get:
/bin/csh: permission denied
My environment variable SHELL is set to /bin/csh; when I change this
to /bin/sh, the subshell mechanism works. I've temporarily removed
my .cshrc file; this didn't help. I've looked at the code
where the fork and execl() are done (/usr/src/usr.bin/tip/cmds.c) and
don't see anything unusual.
The permissions on /bin/csh look normal (755).
Has anyone else noticed this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
