I should probably point out that Ubuntu *doesn't* use bash by default. Ubuntu changed to "dash" some releases ago. It's largely a drop in replacement, but some "bashism's" aren't portable, which is why some third party scripts still fail. $ ls -al /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-05-15 12:43 /bin/sh -> dash <SNIP> Kind Regards, Dave Walker -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
