Get him to run "ls -l /bin/sh" and also "id" and send the output here.
/bin/sh.exe had no perms set (and neither did anything else in /bin)
I did a ''chmod 000 /bin/sh.exe'' on my system and got the same problem.
I had checked with him early on that sh was executable, but by running it from the command line, and it worked. Just to test this I tried myself:
marder-1:~{32}$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe
-rwx------+ 1 marko None 69632 Jul 31 2002 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{33}$ chmod 000 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{34}$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe
----------+ 1 marko None 69632 Jul 31 2002 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{35}$ /bin/sh
\h:\w{\#}$ exit
marder-1:~{36}$That shouldn't work, surely? Without the execute bit set it should throw a "Command not found" or similar.
Thanks for kicking me in the right direction though, much appreciated.
