I suppose it could be permissions, but the file/script is located in /usr/local/bin with permissions set to 755. Additionally, when i log in as one of the restricted users that are supposed to have the script as their shell, i have no problem running the script if i call it manually. What additional information would be helpful? I'd be glad to provide it. Aaron
