   Eureka!  I found the permission issue.  My Mystic user was not a member of the   
   Mystic user group that I had created.  As soon as I added the user to the   
   group, everything works as you said with owner:group as user:user.   
      
   I think the slowdown on the client displaying the menus was due to running   
   nodespy with root as owner, but since root was not the owner or group of the   
   Mystic data menu display files, it was introducing latency when nodespy tried   
   to read/display them.   
      
   That to say, there is nothing wrong with Mystic.   
      
   So, to summarize, my issues of Mystic A48 running on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon   
   v5.2.7:   
   1. Mystic user as owner but not a member of the group that has ownership -   
   mutil log errors "is not a valid PKT" and "Cannot find arctype for".  Nodespy   
   unable to establish a snoop session.   
   2. Mystic mis server unable to access ports below 1024:   
   Run this command as root (or use sudo):   
   sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /mystic/mis   
      
   Thank you so much for your help g00r00 and Al.  I appreciate it!
