Hi Steve,
   Thanks for getting back to me. I checked the permissions on the file
and dir, and here's what I get:


/usr/local/www $ ls -la
total 10
drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel   512 Jun 22 18:43 ./
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel   512 Jul 19 22:36 ../
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    27 Jun 22 18:43 cgi-bin@ ->
/usr/local/www/cgi-bin-dist
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Jun 22 18:43 cgi-bin-dist/
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    24 Jun 22 18:43 data@ ->
/usr/local/www/data-dist
drwxr-xr-x  10 www   www    1536 Jul 20 10:17 data-dist/
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel  3584 Jun 22 18:43 icons/
drwxr-xr-x   2 www   www     512 Jun 22 18:43 proxy/
/usr/local/www $=20

As for the file itself, well here's something funny:
/usr/local/www $ ls -la /usr/local/www/data/_vti_bin/shtml.exe
ls: /usr/local/www/data/_vti_bin/shtml.exe: No such file or directory
/usr/local/www $=20

Huh?????

Seems I can't find this file anywhere:
/usr/local/www/data/_vti_bin $ ls -la *
_vti_adm:
total 3
drwxrwxr-x  2 www  www  512 Jul 20 01:02 ./
drwxrwxr-x  4 www  www  512 Jul 20 01:02 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 www  www  345 Jul 20 01:02 .htaccess

_vti_aut:
total 3
drwxrwxr-x  2 www  www  512 Jul 20 01:02 ./
drwxrwxr-x  4 www  www  512 Jul 20 01:02 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 www  www  353 Jul 20 01:02 .htaccess
/usr/local/www/data/_vti_bin $=20

Oh Man.., I don't know what the heck is going on here.., Any ideas?=20
