Remember that the -c option for bash is a single argument, not the rest of the line. The 'restart' is being seen as a separate argument to bash, not as part of the command for bash to execute, if that makes any sense! It will work if you do: sudo bash -c "/etc/init.d/samba restart" -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
