It sounds like you might have /mnt/rh mounted with the noexec option set. This option happens to be implied by the user option (for security reasons, I imagine); if you have "user" set for /mnt/rh in /etc/fstab, change it to "user,exec" - or, for that matter, "user,exec,dev,suid" - and things should work. Even better, don't mount with the user option at all, just leave it at "defaults" and turn the automatic mounting at boot field on. Running Red Hat programs should be possible, but bear in mind that you may have problems due to, among other things, (a) programs not being able to find their configuration files, or (b) programs not being able to load the right shared libraries. You may have to chroot to /mnt/rh and run them inside that environment to get them to work. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
