Command line /proc/cpuinfo--Permission Denied

martindw
I discovered today that when I log on as root at the console, /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo return the error "Permission denied."  If root can't do them, who the heck can???

This is Astaro 3.216 on a Pentium II-266 (I think!)  , 128MB.

Hints appreciated. . .

    What are you trying to do? If you are trying to find out info on the cpu, what you want to do is this:

    cd /proc
    cat cpuinfo
    or 
    cat meminfo

    I have a feeling you were trying to execute the /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo as commands themselves, which they are not.
