"Kernel Support for miscellaneous (your favourite) Binary Formats v1.1" "You can enable/disable binfmt_misc or one binary type by echoing 0 (to disable) or 1 (to enable) to /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status or /proc/.../the_name. Catting the file tells you the current status of binfmt_misc/the entry. You can remove one entry or all entries by echoing -1 to /proc/.../the_name or /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status." I have no idea really. It might help to see a complete log message and report of *which* "program accessing an empty file" and which "empty file" your talking about. kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R.
