Hi all

I'm running SLES8 SP3 ( kernel 2.4.21 ) on zSeries z/VM 4.4 When I try to : cat | head -1 i got the first row of the file but also message:

cat: write error: Broken pipe

This happens only if I'm normal user ( not root ), I connect through telnet ( not ssh ) and when using ksh ( not bash ). Besides it works fine on SLES8 GA version ( 2.4.19 kernel ).

Any hints what might be a problem here ?

man ulimit Seems the "data" ulimit prevents user accessing thoose large files! head -1 should fail, too. BTW: Check this [1] out Hope that helps The polarizer polarizers at its best http://www.glass-polariser.com [1] http://sial.org/howto/shell/useless-cat/
