Good idea. Here is what those files are containing exactly: [root at box /]# cat -A /ldd #! /bin/sh$ echo testing$ $ [root at box /]# cat -A /ldd2 #! /bin/sh$ echo testing$ $ [root at box /]# They seem exactly the same.. BTW now, for any reason, I can create a new file in the / directory and run it properly (before it always didn't output anything). However by creating that in the /home directory it won't work, like before in /. Regards, Daniel
