Thanks Duc (and Jeremy).

I used chmod +s, and now it works.

I change the setUID permission of pref (chmod +s /usr/local/pref, run as
root) and I can issue the dmexit as a user other than root.

Terry.

Both DMCMD and dmcmd will work,  - if  you are logged in as root.
If you are logged in as a non-root user, it doesn't work either way.

This surprises me because by the looks of it, pref should be executable by
anybody, if I am reading this properly.

# ls -l /usr/local/pref
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff       7264 Jun 24  1998 /usr/local/pref
