That's strange. Are you still in the directory that contains the chcase file? > root]# # chmod 755 chcase The # signifies a root prompt. You are not meant to type it.

Make sure chcase is owned by root: # chown root:root /usr/local/bin/chcase Then check its permissions: # ls -la /usr/local/bin/chcase Leave the # out when typing these (as I have explained above). You should get something like: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3921 Sep 25 2002 /usr/local/bin/chcase* Make sure the permissions are "-rwxr-xr-x" (as above), and that the owner and group are root. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "I was never a "big thinker".
