Re: Unable to su as a user, I get: Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied

["Michael Habashy" <mjh2000@gmail.com>]

i agree -

this issue seems to be affecting a couple oof other things on the server as well.
For instance, on the xconsole screen..it lets me login and then bounces me back out.  
I uninstalled gdm package, i am left iwth kde ---when i login in with that...i get an xterm window pop up and it states the same thing  : Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied

it is driving me up a wall.

thanks..for any help...

That should probably be 755 , not 766, you really dont want /bin/bash
writeable by anyone but root.
