The problem was the .profile file in the home directory of the userid. the PATH variable had a reference to a symlink in /opt. The content under the symlinked directory had 777 permissions. After changing that to something less permissive, the problem went away.
I have been able to solve this.
The problem was the .profile file in the home directory of the userid. the PATH variable had a reference to a symlink in /opt. The content under the symlinked directory had 777 permissions. After changing that to something less permissive, the problem went away.
This is my PATH variable:
PATH="$ HOME/bin: $HOME/. local/bin: /opt/sub3dtool: /opt/android/ sdk/platform- tools:/ opt/android- studio/ bin:$PATH"
Then I set the symlinked directory permissions to 755:
gunner@minix:~$ ls -l /opt | grep sub3dtool
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 22 10:47 sub3dtool -> sub3dtool-0.4.2/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 22 10:47 sub3dtool-0.4.2
