I tried to share my home directory from my old system to my new box. I was able to see all the file, and I could create new ones on the mounted partition. I was not able to get the KDE to start, however. It just hung on the initializing windows manager part. When I went to unmount the share, I found several processes under my UID hung trying to access .xsession-errors. The only thing I see in the .xsession-errors is: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: /home/hattons/.xsession: bad interpreter: Permission denied /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: /home/hattons/.xsession: Permission denied Is it possible to mount /home and use it as if it were local? Then what to do about browser caching, etc.? STH

Check the top of your .xsession. The #! line is probably pointing to a shell program that doesn't exist on the client machine. Fix it to something that works on both.

I don't know about Konqueror, but Netscape locks the cache it's accessing, so you can't have more than one process using the same cache. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England

I had that message just half an hour ago. Not during an X session, but trying to execute a script from a text console. It turned out that I had mounted a partition without "exec" option (usually set with the "default" option). See "man mount" & "man fstab" for more details.
