I'm sitting here looking at two Sony Vaio laptops. Both have a directory that contains our test software. In this directory (on both machines) is a file called Testit. An ls -l of Testit on the old machine returns: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60 Jun 25 2001 Testit
The new machine is only different in size (echo statements to indicate progress) and date (just created). The executable script is the same. On both machines I am logged on as root. On the newer machine I can not execute this file. It returns: wobbly nfcs # Testit bash: ./Testit: Permission denied The old (working) machine is running RedHat 6.2. The new machine is running a newly installed Gentoo system. OK, I'm baffled. I've got the permissions set right, I've got '.' included in my path (yes, I know that can be dangerous), the executable contents are identical. What gives? The answer is bound to be so simple I'll hit my forehead with a brick when I find it, but can someone speed that process up? In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.
