I would start with the first problem that is reported: "sh: /dev/null: Permission denied". What are the permissions of the /dev/null node on your system? It should be writable by anyone: $ ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2007-10-07 14:28 /dev/null -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
