You're getting closer but that's still not it.

One more hint:

I guess sed didn't fit the bill?
You gotta have it if you wanna Unix properly.

I think this has not yet been answered.

Unless I am terribly mistaken, that should be...

Maybe I even registered just to say that. And yes, I know I am late.

Those two riddles remain unanswered.

Maybe `echo WGZjZQo= | base64 -d`?

How do I make this "show" element?

No this isn't it.
I've added a new clue in an earlier post.

Nope, this isn't it.
Maybe this hint will help more:

chmod g+s ?

No, this is a single command, not one plus arguments.

Last hint:
I spell group: grp.

Congratulation on that one.

here's a new simple riddle to kick this back alive:

Quote:I am a filesystem, though non existent on disk

I give you the size.
I give you the content... Well, not quite.
That is a line.

Err... I may not be that good at explaining.
That is one line of output of the program:

Last clue: it is in POSIX
