Re: [PLUG] what could be broken?

You'll want to strace -f to follow the children as well if less runs
something else. Most likely it's running the sleuthkit's version of file to
identify the type of file (complete guess here) before opening it for
"reading". I believe more checks to make sure you don't try to view a binary
file. The initial error output shown below points me to the file binary (in
"file: <error message>"... the "file:" part is the binary that's
complaining).
ldd sleuthkit's file binary to find libmagic.so.1. I'm jumping in in the
middle, so I dont' recall if it's Eric who installed sleuthkit, or someone
else.
