I have a .cflist and I am using bash and I just received the error as well
when I tried to run ft:
Ok: quit
You have now left the Co-op conference.

The only difference between Mic G. is that I have a .cflist. Well I am sure
there are other differences but really do we have to be picky. 8-)

Now this is really getting weird. I am receiving this - (null): Permission
denied, bozo - after every valid command entered. Here is a couple for you
to see:
Ok: browse 101
(null): Permission denied, bozo
Ok: read 101
(null): Permission denied, bozo
When I completed my previous post and ended it with I '.' on a line by itself
I received the error too. See:

Is it possible that I am actually in FrontTalk and there is an actual
permission problem?
JMSaul or spooked did y'all see this as well? For clarification my error was
just like jmsaul. After the error the conference started up for me and I
continued to make these responses. Guys when you got the errors did you stay
in the conference that had started after the error or did you exit out?
Jan it's your baby. What did we break? 8-D

I get the same thing you're getting, but it executes the command after telling
me that:
Ok: browse
(null): Permission denied, bozo

I don't see that message. It's kind of a cute one, but I don't suppose it
is if you see it all the time.

In case anyone still cares, I found the bug that caused the strange message
discussed above. It'll be fixed in the next Fronttalk release.

Cool; what was the bug? That was a *strange* error message.

Backtalk, when run from the web, runs a program called "partutil" that
permits your participation files read/write to group cfadmg. This
enables Backtalk to read and write your participation files, although it
isn't running as you, nor as group. Partutil is an suid root program,
written to be paranoid.
When you run Fronttalk on Grex, it runs backtalk directly, instead of
running making an HTTP connection to it. In this case, Backtalk is
actually running as you, so it doesn't need partutil. However, in some
instances, partutil would get called anyway. That's the bug. It's a
harmless bug, except that partutil, seeing that it was being run by
someone other than the user http runs as, declined to run. Being an
suid root program being run by an unauthorized user, it printed a rather
rude error message: "Permission denied, bozo" and declined to run.
So I've fixed Backtalk so that it doesn't run partutil unnecessarily,
and I've fixed partutil to print a slightly less rude message.
