Hello,
However, it looks like an internal problem of /bin/sh. Try running
/bin/sh -x ./install.sh /home/slist
This lists every command before it is executed (with variables expanded). Maybe it gives some more insight.
thanks for your help, now I ended up with ... + 4<& 0 + ../src/setid root + 0< install.sh2 /bin/sh[11]: 4: 0403-007 Generated or received a file descriptor number that is not valid. + exit 1 ... But why not use another shell ?! I tried the same with ksh - no succes, after that I used bash and there were no problems! I'm on an AIX 4.3.2, on Solaris 2.7 x86 it worked also with /bin/sh, maybe it's a problem with the AIX sh ?! So I will force the use of bash ... In bash the output starts with: ... + exec + ../src/setid root ... instead of the +4<& 0. Regards, Carsten ================================================== == == Dipl.-Ing.
