None of these is still on the system .
By the way, I realize that I've been working without a real understanding of
chroot (which I assume is the directory hierarchy under /opt/ and controls
client behavior). I wonder if there could be files in that seemingly vast
and complicated hierarchy that have an effect on my problem...Is there a
relatively simple tutorial on this subject I should be reading?
