The thing is that you are not supposed to run dosemu as root, as this is a serious security threat. Even though you haven't run my test program, I suspect that the problem was that /etc/passwd wasn't readable for the user, and when you started dosemu as root, it was able to read /etc/passwd. Normally /etc/passwd is readable for the users, so dosemu can run.
Sorry to send you out chasing a red herring...
I don't think so, dosemu is not supposed to require root to run. As for the 64bit CPU - yes, switching to the 32bit one is the solution for now. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
