I have no idea where to look. It's probably a script. Therefore it's quite likely that you have a problem with permissions on something the script is trying to run.
If it is not a script, I have no idea. If it is, the first line probably says what shell process is to run the script. It might say `#! /bin/bash' or `#! /usr/bin/perl'. Check the permissions of that executable. If that is OK, start debugging the script itself. If it's a shell script (/bin/bash or /bin/sh) put `set -x' near the top; if it's a perl script, I don't know; perhaps someone else could suggest something. The object is to see what command in the script is failing. If you can't do it that way, check the permissions of every command the script tries to run. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 Unsolicited email advertisements are not welcome; any person sending such will be invoiced for telephone time used in downloading together with a £25 administration charge. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
