I get this whenever I try to execute anything by enter/double click or try to call a program from the command line. When I run the program to be executed with sudo it opens it up nicely, but I like the pressing enter method and would not like to type always the file name. Or how could I setup for some executables to execute from mc? Here is my /etc/mc folder: drwxr-xr-x. 121 root root 12288 Nov 14 10:59 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 12278 Aug 22 2010 cedit.menu -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 788 Aug 22 2010 edit.indent.rc -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 247 Aug 22 2010 edit.spell.rc drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 15 10:50 extfs -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1024 Aug 22 2010 filehighlight.ini -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 226 Aug 22 2010 mc.charsets -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 17353 Aug 22 2010 mc.ext -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7936 Aug 22 2010 mc.keymap -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7936 Aug 22 2010 mc.keymap.default -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7913 Aug 22 2010 mc.keymap.emacs -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1979 Aug 22 2010 mc.lib -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9556 Aug 22 2010 mc.menu -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 10126 Aug 22 2010 mc.menu.sr -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6259 Aug 22 2010 Syntax The mc from /user/bin -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 988432 Aug 22 2010 mc For example, here is a file I would like to execute through mc with normal user: -rwxrwxr-x 1 root hUSERS 205780 Jun 11 16:03 DBU3L I saw in a forum a program called sam that maybe could be used, but would not like to reinvent the wheel if this could be fixed by changing some rights or mc parameters.
