I'm running sid. dpkg-reconfigure -p low dash Answer "no" to the "Install dash as /bin/sh" question. Dash should then remove it's diversion of /bin/sh -> /bin/sh.distrib If that doesn't work just do (as root): ls -snf bash /bin/sh That will fix up your /bin/sh symlink, but you should really do as Siggy suggested and use "#!/bin/bash" as your shebang line if you don't have time to properly fix the script. /me recently fixed a *lot* of ksh scripts to use /bin/ksh instead of /bin/sh. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
