I think I got closer to the problem but still don't know what it is exactly. I copied the hello script: #!/bin/sh echo "Hello World" to /var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r8/work/bash-2.05b and ./hello says bash: ./hello: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied In fstab /var is mounted: /dev/hda9 /var ext3 noatime,nodev,usrquota,users 0 0 Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
