What does "rpm -qf /usr/bin/signcode.exe" return? If the file is not owned by any package then I doubt it was installed by SUSE. BTW, LiveCD has no .exe files in /usr/bin directory. Regards, -Kastus

My 9.1 Pro installation includes the "mono" package, which is a .NET implementation. It provides several ".exe" files: /usr/bin/chktrust.exe /usr/bin/disco.exe /usr/bin/secutil.exe /usr/bin/sqlsharp.exe /usr/bin/wsdl.exe Other .exe files are provided by "pnetlib", a C# library (also .NET-related): /usr/lib/cscc/lib/1.2.3400.0/csunit.exe /usr/lib/cscc/lib/1.2.3400.0/ilinstall.exe /usr/lib/cscc/lib/8.0.1000.0/jsrun.exe /usr/lib/cscc/lib/csunit.exe /usr/lib/cscc/lib/ilinstall.exe /usr/lib/cscc/lib/jsrun.exe And there are others... So it's not unreasonable to expect that a SuSE 9.2 distribution also contains .exe files.

Part of mono, it's one of the .NET things. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.111-default x86_64
