The shell prompt (see quote above) suggests that /usr/bin was your current directory when you invoked the command, and it probably just tried to create the file in the current directory. Also, you shouldn't have to specify the path (/usr/bin) as part of the command if your $PATH variable is set correctly. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
