[olug] X permissions

[kaygee]

In my experience those are symbolic links to files that no longer exist.
The files were removed but the links have stayed and now they poin to
something that isn't there.  I do not know how to rectify that situation
(I may have at one time but if so I've since forgotten).  Maybe someone
else on the list knows the solution.
