I discovered that the "file" utility works for some

doesn't work, the response is:

file: could not find any magic files!

If I am su'd to root, me, or any of several other
accounts on the system, I get that same error. Still other user
ID's in the same class can use file just fine.

Any other suggestions at what I should look at? This is
one of those dumb things that is driving me crazy today.:-) All
I know is I probably caused this but I am at a loss as to how.

Maybe the ownership and/or permissions of /usr/share/misc are wrong?
