That's it. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This translates into ``the script must be an "interpreted executable"''. I.e., you have to use #!/usr/local/bin/bash as the first line of your script, in addition to setting the appropriate x-permissions. Without this, execve(2) won't accept the script as an executable program. (For a normal shell environment, this is the point where your login shell jumps in and feeds the script into some sort of a shell. This doesn't work for a login program however.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
