Yes, the exact same thing happened to me, apparently because 2.1.13 does not understand the "#!/usr/sbin/perl --" line in the script. No script which gives an argument to its processor works with that kernel. Miraculously, almost everything will work normally if you change the line to "#!/usr/bin/perl". Seems like start-stop-daemon is the only key script that gives arguments to its processor. This is the first 2.1 kernel I've tried, so I don't know if its a bug or a feature. (Its startup messages mentioned being POSIX-certified, mabye things like "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" and "#!/usr/bin/make -f" are unsupported now?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mm mm Johnie Ingram, Network Technician mm mm Research & Development, The Library Network m m m 33030 Van Born Road, Wayne, MI 48141 +1 313 326 8910 x144 mm mm GO BLUE PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C "Ibala lami elimnyama, ndiya zidla ngalo...." -- One by One (Disney's Rhythm of the Pridelands) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
