PATH field questions
Sorry for not batching these. There shouldn't be any more in the immediate future :)
In PATH can anybody point me to:
The meaning of the first 3 characters of the mode field. The meaning of rdev.
Thanks,
Matt

The mode field is in octal. This is the sticky * setuid bits. Look at fstat man page for st_mode.
