So the symlink from /usr/bin/python to the real binary is correct and the real binary has the right permissions. If your line starting with "#!/" weren't the first line in your script, you would get a different error message. Same if the "#" weren't the first character in that line. This leads to the question whether you can start *any* executable from your home directory (assuming you stored your script somewhere under your home directory). If not so, do you mount your /home partition with the "noexec" option? Uwe -- Jethro Tull: Maybe, I am not done yet! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
