I should know better.... I had ^M's in my passwd file (binary mounts). I don't know how they got there, but vim is "smart" enough not to show them; so I had no idea they were present. Once I removed them, everything worked fine. It was not necessary to use the 19991210 snapshot (I'm still using the 19991124 version). gdb helped me realize that it was "login.exe" that was failing to execute "/bin/bash^M". Thanks, all, for the suggestions. Now if only I could find that brown paper bag I keep for just these sorts of emergencies... --Chuck Corinna Vinschen wrote: > > Chris Faylor wrote: > > > > On Tue, Dec 14, 1999 at 12:18:44AM -0500, Charles S.
