The other thing that might cause this is if setiathome is a script of some sort, and the thing the script points to isn't executable: $ ed foo foo: No such file or directory a #!/etc/passwd hello there . w 26 q $ chmod +x foo $ ./foo zsh: permission denied: foo Something that big doesn't seem terribly likely to be a script, though. 'file setiathome' might be informative (along with the desparation-measure 'strings setiathome |less') if you can't figure anything else out. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
