OK, I did some reading and understand the exec thing. So, nevermind about that.

I guess the only issues that remain are:

The telnet/read-only issue - I thought that it might make sense, because with the FS set to r/o, it can't write to /usr/sbin/in.telnetd, but ftp works under the same conditions. Should telnet work with the FS r/o, or did I set something up incorrectly?

The /proc/empeg_power thing - I've mostly figured out. I've got a script written that successfully checks for AC power, but I don't know what the contents of /proc/empeg_power looks like when connected in the car. I'll have to rip the dash out to connect the serial cable to the sled, so before I do that, - when the car is connected to Ac, the line in empeg_power reads:
0 (AC Power)

does anyone know what the line is when the car is connected via the sled?
0 (DC Power) or ?????

Thanks in advance,
