Thanks to those who responded, (mostly with "check the log" or "is it
executable" responses)

We originally thought it might have been a bad patch job on the box, but
it appears not, and we're buffaloed. So out of production the box goes
and we'll try a fresh install of the mostest recentest freshest sol 8 we

Thanks to all!
