Yeah, maybe. I don't really know enough about the differences between bash and dash. I can't remember if I considered changing the one line, but I had the impression that bash was the default for a long time, and that dash was relatively new, so I must have thought going back to bash would be safe. Also, there were a number of scripts and more than one had problems. Selim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
